Harry Maguire has made seven errors leading to opposition shots since the start of last season Nemanja Matic is out of contract this summer and is widely expected to leave Old Trafford Most errors by outfield players leading to an opposition shot in the Premier League since the start of 2020/21 Harry Maguire - 7 Nemanja Matic - 7 Gabriel - 6 Davinson Sanchez - 5 Adam Webster - 5 Luke Ayling - 5 Tyrone Mings - 5 James Tarkowski - 5 Luke Shaw - 4 Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 4 One of ten Hag's main priorities will surely be tightening up the Red Devils' leaky defence, as they have shipped 48 goals in the Premier League this season - more than 18th-placed Burnley. Full-back pair Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw have also made costly defensive errors New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will need to sure up the team's leaky defence 20-year-old defender Jurrien Timber has been tipped to follow ten Hag from Ajax to United Villarreal's Pau Torres and Antonio Rudiger, who is out of contract at Chelsea, have also been linked with moves to the club. Premier League trio Declan Rice, Ruben Neves and Yves Bissouma are among ten Hag's reported targets to provide a more solid defensive shield in midfield.
