Man United have made signing a centre-back their priority

There is a need for a new defender at Old Trafford after the Reds leaked goals for fun last season and players like Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire have struggled.

Jonny Evans is staying at the club but he is not someone Man United can rely on considering his age and form.

Lisandro Martinez, who has faced fitness issues in recent times, need a reliable partner in defendse, particularly after the injury suffered by new signing Yoro.
