Manchester United defensive players have been an issue this whole season.

The red devils know that the injuries are a problem to the team, but they are also aware that the defensive players have been the ones that have suffer the most so far.

Manchester United seems to slowly be getting over the injuries problem that affected the team really hard in the start of the season, but there are still some players that get injured in the games and that could really affect the whole season of the team, but the fact is that now the team definitely need to make some changes to change this situation as soon as they can.

First of all now it has been confirmed by Ten Hag that Jonny Evans is not going to be part of the squad of the next Manchester United game, the reason being that he actually suffer from an injury and that they do not know how long is going to take for them to actually have the veteran player back into the squad.

After the game in the Champions League it was confirmed that Ten Hag has had to play with 11 different back four combinations in the last 16 games with the red devils, and the fact is that this shows how bad the defense has been down with the injuries that players that are not defenders have had the need to act on that situation and cover those positions.

Last but not least it has also been reported that Manchester United are going to have an issue with some of the defenders on the team, for example Varane that seems to be ready to leave the team in the transfer window, or Wan Bissaka, that they are not going to renew his contract but instead use the contract extension, but that could change the posture of the player.

Jonny Evans role

Since the arrival of Jonny Evans to the red devils team, the fact is that the player did suffer some changes to his role, from a veteran that was only for emergencies to a player that was used as a starter in several different games.
