Center Back Pairings

Last season, United did not keep the center back pairings very consistent as injuries struck almost all of the defenders. Eric Bailly was obviously the best of the bunch and most likely will get the nod to start. Although, there is still Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Victor Lindelof, and Daley Blind to fight for the other spot. It will be a fierce competition for who can slot in the center of defense and make an immediate impact.
