Any centre-back that makes their way onto Manchester United's radar this summer must be prepared to accept realistic expectations.
United, after a forgettable 2021/22 campaign, made significant strides this season, with much of their progress being built on improved defensive standards.
The additions of Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro last summer played key roles in United becoming more resolute and generally solid, despite the occasional hammering that they experienced during the campaign.
The Reds ended the season with 28 clean sheets to their name in all competitions, 25 of which were won while David de Gea, who is increasingly likely to leave the club this summer, was stationed between the posts.
