There are a lot of players at Manchester United who can play in the central defense. Harry Maguire, the team's captain, Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailey, Rafael Varane, Axel Tuanzebe, and Lisandro Martinez, the club's newest acquisition, are a few players that potentially fill those duties.
When the Premier League starts in August, Ten Hag will have a difficulty when selecting his starting eleven. Given their caliber, many United supporters have been curious as to how their manager will line up his central defense.
Rafael Varane, a summer acquisition, and Harry Maguire were paired by United last year. Due to injuries that limited his playing time, Varane endured the worst season of his career. United used to use Lindelof in his stead when he wasn't around.
Bailey has demonstrated a strong desire to become the starting center defense for the team this season. This was demonstrated in the final three Ten Hag preseason contests. Bailey did an excellent job.
Ten Hag has already hinted at his mother's ideal center back partnership for the upcoming campaign. Harry Maguire, the team captain, appeared to have been confirmed by Ten Hag as being in his center back plan. This served as justification for his decision to name the England international as the club captain once again.
Ten Hag praised Maguire as a good player who has contributed significantly to club and country. For his county, Maguire has 46 caps. Ten Hag emphasized that Maguire must further demonstrate his merit before being named to the starting lineup.
Another defender who Ten Hag alluded to is Lisandro Martinez, who United recently acquired from Ajax. The defense is well described by Ten Hag. Martinez was described by him as an extremely brave player who would do anything for the team. All of this indicates that Ten Hag will start Maguire and Lisandro against Brighton Hove in his debut Premier League game.
