Erik ten Hag could hand David Carmo his ideal shirt number if he signed him for Manchester United.
Centre-back is one of United's top priorities this summer as they look to improve the squad following their worst ever Premier League campaign. Harry Maguire had a disastrous season which has seen his captaincy come into question, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof both struggled while Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe could all leave this summer.
It's clear that improvements are needed at the back and the Manchester Evening News understands that Ten Hag has made Jurrien Timber his preferred option, with the manager knowing him well from their time at Ajax together. The 20-year-old is versatile enough to also play at right-back, which is handy as Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been earmarked for a departure.
