Man Utd are just one injury away from a defensive breakdown, signing £55m star a priority - view

Manchester United’s defensive depth is a growing concern as injuries have started to disrupt their plans for the new season.

Summer signing Leny Yoro is sidelined for three months due to a broken metatarsal.

Young prospect Will Fish also picked up an injury against Liverpool during the pre-season tour.

Erik ten Hag currently has four options for the two centre-back berths – Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans.

Martinez holds the key to Ten Hag’s defence.
