Even though Phil Jones started most of the games for Solskjaer, he does have a degree of uncertainty in his defending. Bailly jeopardized things by picking up a red card against Bournemouth but has looked strong whenever he has been on the pitch. His steel was vital in United's wins against Arsenal in the FA Cup and Leicester City last weekend in the Premier League. Even though the Ivorian still has an erratic side to his game, his speed, physical presence and tenacity are a welcome addition to this team, and Bailly should be Solskjaer's first choice center-back for the rest of the season.


Center-Back - Victor Lindelof

One of the pick of the players under Solskjaer and also among those who have improved the most in recent times, Victor Lindelof convinced the United board that spending on a defender in January was not required. The Swedish defender has grown in stature with every passing game, adding a degree of steel to his performances. His tackles have been robust, his reading of the game is impeccable and it is not a surprise that he has started in 9 of Solskjaer's 10 game in charge. Victor Lindelof is the Norwegian's main man in defense and is a vital cog in his best XI
