Manchester United will need to strengthen at centre-back under Ruben Amorim.
Especially if Lisandro Martinez’s injury troubles persist.
The 3-4-3 system further emphasises need for reliable centre-backs.
Therefore, the need for depth in that position is key.
Moreso, if United are to really improve over the short and long-term.
Harry Maguire’s future is also uncertain, leaving long-term options looking bleak.
As things currently stand, only Leny Yoro and potentially Matthijs de Ligt look set to be mainstays.
United have been linked with a move for Jonathan Tah.
The 29-year-old often features as centre-back for Bayer Leverkusen.

Mundo Deportivo reports that the defender is now set to move on a free.
Jonathan Tah proved to be instrumental in Leverkusen’s unbeaten title-winning campaign.
He took them to the Europa League final, showcasing his defensive quality.
United and Chelsea had shown interest according to CaughtOffside.
Tah has however, chose to join Barca.
Barcelona’s financial issues are well known, making a free transfer a smart move for them.
The 29-year-old brings experience and defensive stability, making him a valuable addition.
Chelsea were also keeping an eye on Tah, having seen Thiago Silva depart last summer.
The Blues have been struggling defensively, with some centre-backs failing to convince.
United, meanwhile, look to rebuild smartly under Ruben Amorim.
The club lacks reliable defensive depth.
Maguire and De Ligt have not fully been convincing.
Missing out on Tah is quite simply a setback.
He would’ve provided much needed stability and composure at the back.
Moreso, considering injuries to current centre-backs.
Jonny Evans has often been coming into the fold.
United must ensure they look to strike the right balance.
Young players coming into the side need the right guidance around them.
