Manchester United is still under construction. Since the arrival of Erik ten Hag to the Red Devils, we all knew the new manager would make big changes not only in the habits of the players but in the starting lineup. Many of those defenders who played last season are now on the bench.
Such is the case of the entire Manchester United defense for the 2021-2022 season. Although Raphael Varane arrived to be a partner of Harry Maguire in the central defense, the French player was not fit and could not play many games. So the responsibility for defending David de Gea's goal was left to Luke Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, and Lindelof.

Ready to go!? If the board would let David de Gea leave Manchester United in the summer, where would he go?
Today, all of them are on the bench. But even the Spanish goalkeeper could join them. He arrived in 2011 and since then he has been the undisputed starter but his contract ends in the summer and he could leave for a free transfer, something that is not frowned upon by the United board, but who would come to replace him?
Jan Oblak would be ready after the World Cup
The Slovenian goalkeeper also finishes his contract with Atlético de Madrid in the summer, so if the Spanish team's board wants to make money with his transfer, they would have to sell him to Manchester United in winter, just after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He would only be fighting for six months for the starting position with David de Gea.
