Will Man Utd's opening weekend defence be the same as 2022?

Since the summer of 2022, Manchester United have signed eight defenders for a combined £219.7m - and yet, the starting back four could be the same that lined up on the opening day of the season four years ago.

On 7 August 2022, Erik ten Hag started Lisandro Martinez - an arrival that summer for £56.7m - Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot, but suffered a 2-1 loss to Brighton.
