Manchester United are considering a revamp of their defence in the summer, a source has told ESPN.
United insist it’s “business as usual” as they wait for INEOS chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 25% stake to be ratified by the Premier League and have started drawing up plans for the summer transfer window.

The deal is expected to get the green light in February and INEOS director of sport Sir Dave Brailsford has been involved in meetings at Carrington during the interim period. Brailsford is looking to make appointments in key recruitment positions but football director John Murtough and manager Erik ten Hag are already looking ahead to the summer.
According to a source, there have been conversations about making changes to United’s defence with players both leaving and arriving.
