Do Man United need to fix their defence this summer?
3/25/202642 min
It's part two of our early look into summer transfer business, and the first parting of the ways on opinion. Everyone agrees midfield is the highest priority, but how important is it to bring in defensive reinforcements?
The club has been well stocked with centre backs for quite a while now, not least because the team was playing with three of them under Ruben Amorim. Now that the formation requires only two, all is well, right? Spoiler alert: yes, but...
Fullback is where things start to get interesting. Tyrell Malacia is expected to leave and Patrick Dorgu has been employed further forward by Michael Carrick. That means a long-term replacement is needed for Luke Shaw, but how urgently? And then there's the matter of competition/support for Senne Lammens. Plenty to discuss!

In the fall of 2023, Romana Didulo, a woman calling herself the Queen of Canada, drove into Richmond, Saskatchewan with a fleet of RVs and set up her kingdom in an abandoned school. So the town banded together to get the cult out by any means necessary. My name is Rachel Brown, and in this season of Uncover, I explore what happens when a conspiracy theory lands in your backyard.

[upbeat music] This is Talk of the Devils, the athletic show dedicated to Manchester United. Coming up today, it's part two of our summer transfer special. Today, we are gonna look at the defense for Manchester United. So what we've got in net, at center back, and at full back, what we think Manchester United might need, and who we think Manchester United might be targeting. Spoiler alert, I don't think it's gonna be quite as sexy as the chat around the midfielders, because there was a lot of names that was put out on Monday's show. If you've not watched that already, go back and have a look because we looked at the midfield for Manchester United. Uh, lots and lots and lots of good information
