Manchester United was thought to be in the market for an established centre back in the transfer window. They were prized out of Kalidou Koulibaly, Juventus went ahead in the De Ligt race and never looked like losing him, finally got him.

Though Manchester United finally got Maguire from Leicester, and with five other senior centre-backs, local lad Tuanzebe they now have 7 center backs.

Tuanzebe is a class-act and has shown that throughout pre-season and that's why Solskjaer has kept him on. He'll, of course, be cover for Maguire and Lindelof this season, but expect him to break that partnership soon.

He has already shown he can take up the ‘big boy pants’ for Manchester United, keeping him was a no brainer for the manager. And, the manager has confirmed that he’ll feature in the first team this season.

Manchester United may already have their very own Mathis De Ligt, he only needs game time to showcase his talents.
