The English press fears for Manchester United’s season in the defensive sector.
Back in the Champions League, Manchester United have already been quite active and spendthrift on the transfer market by recruiting André Onana and Mason Mount for a total of 116 million euros, and are about to offer Rasmus Hojlund for almost 90 million euros. But it is on the defensive level that there is cause for concern.
Not many people in defense
The only rookie behind is Jonny Evans (35), and the other incumbents did not really reassure. The defeat against Dortmund, with the missed performances of Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire, who suffered the wrath of André Onana, did not go unnoticed. This Tuesday, the Mirror fears a “catastrophe” in defense this season. The English tabloid points to the position of central defender as a priority that the Red Devils should have on the transfer window, because in the event of injury to one of the holders (Raphaël Varane and Lisandro Martinez), not sure that the substitutes will do the trick , especially since Maguire could be forced to leave the club this summer.
