Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag feels his squad is short of two class defenders.

Ten Hag has been quoted by Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano stating his hopes of adding to his defensive ranks.

"We need two good defenders — left and right, because we have a lot of games ahead," said the Dutchman.

On Ten Hag's radar is young Holland fullback Jeremie Frimpong, of Bayer Leverkusen.
