Erik ten Hag is considering making upgrades in four key areas during the summer: right-back, centre-back, midfield, and attack. Which one is given more importance? This may have shifted as the season has gone on, but the fact that Manchester United has allowed 134 shots in their last five games is a strong indication. Furthermore, United may have a limited selection of center-backs for the Liverpool match, as only two are fully fit, and one of them has limited experience with just seven senior appearances. Despite a decent performance against Chelsea, Willy Kambwala still conceded two goals. In the full 112 minutes of the game, Harry Maguire allowed four goals. Raphael Varane and his replacement Jonny Evans both suffered injuries, while Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof are sidelined for a month due to muscle issues. Bruno Fernandes acknowledges that Manchester United were defeated by something they were anticipating against Chelsea. I observed Erik ten Hag’s actions at the end of the Manchester United vs Chelsea match, and it spoke volumes. Luke Shaw has only played in 15 matches this season due to his setbacks, but he is also available as a potential center-back.
