For a long time, "Manchester United" has had difficulties at the very heart of defense, now faced with another problem - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now has too many players in that position.
This summer, "Man Utd" splashed out a record sum for Harry Maguire, but the team still has all the central defenders who have played until now. In this position, without main defenders - Maguire and Lindelof - the "Red Devils" also have Smalling, Jones, Rojo, and Bailly.
"Three too many central defenders for everyone to be happy," - immediately stated Solskjaer. - "Now we need wins and good performances, so I will choose those players who will give us the best chances to win."
So far, Marcos Rojo is associated with a departure, and Eric Bailly has suffered a long-term injury.
"They are all top-class and I know that we will need more than two defenders. Eric is now injured, but when he comes back, we will have six players, so it will be difficult to predict any role for all of them.
Our job now is to get the maximum out of those players we have, but they also have to prove themselves in training. They will definitely get their chance, as we have many more matches ahead.
All these defenders - Marcos, Phil, Chris - have been here for a long time and have proven more than once that they can play at this level," - Solskjaer concluded.
