The Red Devils have bolstered their backline this summer while also adding attacking reinforcements.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must sort out the goalkeeping situation at Manchester United, says club legend Gary Neville.

David De Gea remained the first-choice goalkeeper for Man United last season despite his slip in standards in the last couple of years.

However, Dean Henderson impressed in the limited chances afforded to him, keeping more clean sheets than the Spanish shot-stopper despite playing fewer games.

This has sparked a debate among the United supporters as to who should start between the sticks in 2021-22.

Harry Maguire will come out of this tournament with England strong, more confident than ever before, he’s got a great centre-back partner alongside him now in Varane,” Neville told Sky Sports.

“Varane has played at Real Madrid in the biggest games you could ever play in – World Cups, the lot – so they’ve got two brilliant centre-backs.

“Obviously the two full-backs as well who have got great energy, both of them are great defenders – one of them is great going forward and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is definitely improving.

“I think just sort the goalkeeping situation out, settle that down, decide who is going to be number one and United are in a good position defensively.”
