Ten Hag has special plan for Maguire–Varane partnership next season

Manchester United are hoping that Erik ten Hag will be able to get the best out of the Harry Maguire–Raphael Varane partnership next season.

According to The National, a tier-two source, the Dutchman believes that Varane can have a 'much better second season' after struggling in his debut year.

As for Maguire, there's a belief that the Old Trafford skipper 'can get back to the level' he was at a year ago before suffering an injury towards the end of the 2020/21 season.

Victor Lindelof is also rated by the new manager but it's the Englishman and the Frenchman who are expected to be the starting centre-back duo at the club heading into the 2022/23 campaign.
