Manchester United may already have an ideal long-term solution in defence if past comments made by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are anything to go by.
Right-back has proved to be a particular problem area for the Red Devils this season with Ralf Rangnick chopping and changing between Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka since replacing Solskjaer in November. The latter player's future is especially unclear as incoming manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly put him and four other players up for sale ahead of his arrival this summer.
The Dutchman is expected to receive substantial financial backing in the transfer window in order to sign a striker and two ready-made midfielders. The war chest could struggle to stretch to a new option at right-back but this may not be an issue due to an emerging talent already on United's books.
