Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Solskjaer made his priority to strengthen the right-back position after Ashley Young's lacklustre performances last season. Since his £45m move away from Crystal Palace, Aaron Wan-Bissaka has improved United's back-four with flawless performances in the pre-season.

Nicknamed The Spider due to his long legs, Wan-Bissaka has already built a rapport with United teammates, and the defence looks a cohesive unit due to the 21-year-old's presence. Although, it would be intriguing to see how Solksjaer utilises Diogo Dalot, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka looks set to patrol United's right side.
Victor Lindelof
Victor Lindelof, club's best defender last season, will be one of the first names in Solskjaer's starting XI next season. After an average debut season in England, the Swedish centre-back displayed his true colours last season and looked acclimatised with Premier League's swift and hostile football.
Harry Maguire's arrival at United would also ensure that Lindelof is deployed on the right side of central defence- the position he prefers. Also, the Sweden international will relish at the prospect of a dominating centre-back playing alongside him.
Harry Maguire
After weeks of dragging negotiations between the clubs, finally, Harry Maguire secured his move to Old Trafford on August 5. The Englishman could be the final piece in the jigsaw of United's defence. In his two seasons at Leicester City, the 26-year-old, with his defensive attributes and ball-playing abilities, has established himself as one of Premier League's best centre-halves.
Alongside Lindelof, Maguire could form one of the most reliable defensive partnerships in the country. With a full pre-season for the Foxes under his belt, Maguire is almost certain to debut in United colours in their first league game against Chelsea on August 11.
Luke Shaw
Despite an injury-laden four seasons, Luke Shaw finally sealed his spot permanently in the starting lineup last campaign. One of the best players for United in the 2018/19 term, the left-back was rewarded with the club's Player of the Year awrad. But still, the 24-year-old has many areas to improve on.
Towards the end of the last campaign, Shaw, similar to most of his teammates, was burnt out and started to commit errors, leading to goals. Shaw was excellent defensively but needs to rediscover his confidence in going forward and make those surgings overlaps.
Solskjaer trusts Shaw, and this season, the Englishman could go one step further and increase his attacking returns with a stable centre-back partnership behind him.
