Manchester United have managed to keep just one clean sheet in 10 games across all competitions this season, a shutout against Azerbaijan champions Sabah FK.
Ahead of their Champions League match against Como, manager Michael Carrick acknowledged that improvements are needed defensively to make things easier for the team.
Defensive frailties have persisted from last season under both Carrick and his predecessor Ruben Amorim, compounded by a severe lack of selection continuity and injuries.
Squad depth has been heavily tested with players like Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez sidelined, forcing versatile options to fill defensive gaps.
