Manchester United Set to Revamp Defense in 2026

Manchester United is preparing to overhaul their defensive lineup by 2026.

Focus Shift After Striker Investments

Following significant investments in attacking players this summer, including the acquisitions of Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha, the club’s leadership is now turning its attention to strengthening the defensive unit.

Financial Plans for Defense Upgrade

As reported by ESPN, a budget of £200 million has been allocated for enhancing the backline and increasing defensive options.

Upcoming Changes in the Squad

The anticipated changes may involve the departure of Harry Maguire, as his contract is set to expire at the end of this season.

There are indications that United may initiate these renovation efforts in the January transfer window; however, the bulk of their activities is expected to occur in the summer.
