Former Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand believes "one or two" of Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly could leave Old Trafford in this summer's transfer window.
United, who will get their pre-season preparations under way in less than a week's time, are keen on strengthening their defensive options this summer and have identified Ajax ace Jurrien Timber as their top target. The youngster is capable of playing at both right-back and centre-back, meaning the prospect of him arriving at Old Trafford could spell trouble for several others.
Manager Erik ten Hag needs to bolster his defensive options as a leading priority this summer after United experienced their worst campaign defensively since the 1978/79 campaign last season. They conceded 69 goals in all competitions, 57 of which were in the Premier League.
