Central defence
During the last eight years of Ferguson’s reign the established centre-backs for the Red Devils were Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
The duo were considered to be among the best in the world at their peak, but with Vidic leaving for Inter Milan in the summer and Ferdinand expected to also depart, big changes are ahead.
Neither Phil Jones or Chris Smalling have proven that they are the ones to occupy the role on a consistent basis and this could be one area that they should focus their transfer funds on.
