Manchester United fans have the same concerns with team named vs AC Milan

Manchester United fans stated their concerns over the club's centre-back options after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named his side to take on AC Milan today.

Harry Maguire has not yet been confirmed as a United player, although an announcement is expected soon with the Reds due to unveil the Leicester man as their third summer arrival.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named a back four of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw for the game against AC Milan in Cardiff.

The game is United's final pre-season encounter before they take on Chelsea at Old Trafford in next week's Premier League opener. The Reds are looking to make it six wins from six in pre-season after a successful tour of Australia and Asia and a narrow 1-0 win over Kristiansund in Oslo earlier this week.

And some United fans were concerned about Rojo in central defence, with supporters not convinced about the side's options beyond what is expected to be a central defensive partnership of Maguire and Lindelof when the season begins.

There were also worries from fans about the depth in midfield without Paul Pogba. The Frenchman hasn't travelled with United's squad for the game at the Principality Stadium because of a back spasm, though there remains speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.

Nemanja Matic, Andreas Pereira and Scott McTominay made up the midfield trio for the AC Milan clash.

Many United fans were left wondering how they will cope without Pogba, while in defence many wanted to see a chance for Axel Tuanzebe.
