Manchester United legend Gary Pallister expects to see a dominant defender signed this summer.
The Red Devils had a good defensive record last term as they finished third in the Premier League.
But their lack of pace in the center of defense through Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof is a worry.
And Pallister thinks a big money signing could be on the way.
"It's hard, you know, the centre-half situation," Pallister told Compare.bet.
"Victor Lindelof who has come in and done well, [Eric] Bailly who was doing okay before he had that really bad injury and he's come in and out of the side since lockdown.
"But I think it's a position that Ole might still be looking at and bringing in another dominant centre-half, but it's so hard to find.
"You look at Virgil Van Djik who came in and had such a massive impact at Liverpool, can you find someone like that?
"I quite like the look of Ake but obviously City have signed him, because he looked like a real athletic centre-half who was comfortable on the ball and always looking to break out of the back four and get forward, I would like to see someone like him come into the squad.
"But I think it's a position that Ole will be looking at, you know, we've got a few people coming back.
"Chris Smalling is coming back, Rojo's coming back, Phil Jones is there, Bailly, Lindelof, you can't keep all them happy so there'll be some of them leaving and Ole's just got to decide which.
"On top of that, I think he will try and bring in another centre-half."
