距離新賽季的英超開幕已剩下不到一周時間，我們將會分析一下曼聯一線隊各條戰線的人員架構。今天讓我們看一下中後衛上的人員..

埃里克·拜利

紅魔生涯數據：38次上場

去年才從比利亞雷亞爾轉投曼聯的拜利，他在第一個賽季里的表現就被認為是中後衛位置上表現最佳人選之一。

這名象牙海岸國腳在上賽季各項比賽中一共出場38次，並在今年跟隨俱樂部出征了所有7場季前賽比賽，只因為追加處罰的關係沒能在歐洲超級盃的比賽中登場。

菲爾·瓊斯

紅魔生涯數據：167次上場，5粒進球

儘管在16-17賽季當中，這名25歲的中後衛遭受到傷病侵襲，但他仍然在陣中發揮出巨大作用並在各項比賽中出場26次。

瓊斯也隨隊一起出征了季前賽所有7場比賽，儘管也因為歐足聯一些處罰的原因無法在歐洲超級盃中出場，但不可否認的是，季前賽中的表現可以看出他非常渴望能夠得到固定首發的位置。

他說：「每個人都渴望獲得首發。我們非常清楚主教練對我們的期望，因為他對我們實在太了解了。」

維克托·林德洛夫

紅魔生涯數據：1次上場

今年夏天，主帥穆里尼奧的第一簽便是這位在7月從本菲卡轉會而來的林德洛夫， 而林德洛夫的目標也正是把自己打造成曼聯新賽季中的後防中堅力量。

這位22歲的瑞典人跟隨曼聯出征了所有7場季前賽，而在比賽期間也被嘗試安排了不同的防守搭檔，他正慢慢適應著曼聯的節奏。

在完成對陣洛杉磯銀河隊的曼聯首秀之後，他說道：「感覺非常好，我很榮幸能夠加入這個偉大俱樂部。」

馬庫斯·羅霍

紅魔生涯數據：95次上場，2粒進球

羅霍是曼聯上賽季的後防主力，在上賽季各項比賽中41次出場，擔任過中後衛和左邊後衛的兩個角色。

27歲的阿根廷人因膝傷無緣曼聯所有7場季前熱身賽，但他渴望儘快傷愈復出再次進入穆里尼奧的一線隊大名單之中。

克里斯·斯莫林

紅魔生涯數據：244次上場，13粒進球

斯莫林是曼聯上賽季後防陣線不可或缺的一員，各項比賽中一共出場36次。

這名曾31次入選英格蘭隊的後防球員在主教練的季前熱身賽里也都被安排了主力位置，7場季前賽均有出場，並在多場比賽中擔任了場上隊長一職。

安塞爾·圖安澤貝

紅魔生涯數據：5次上場

這位19歲的後防球員由於自身技術全面等因素在上賽季躋身一線隊直至賽季末，在上場的5場比賽中曾擔任右邊後衛以及防守中場等角色。

他最擅長的場上位置是中後衛，今年的季前賽，他也隨一線隊出征並出場5次，場上表現可圈可點。

In the last week before the big Premier League kick-off, we're profiling each area of Manchester United's first-team squad as it stands. Here, we take a look at our centre-backs...

ERIC BAILLY

United career stats: 38 appearances

Bailly cemented his position as one of the club’s top defenders last term, in his first season at Old Trafford after arriving from Villarreal.

The Ivory Coast international made 38 appearances in all competitions and continued his form into pre-season, where he featured in all seven of the club’s tour friendlies, only to be ruled out of the UEFA Super Cup due to suspension.

PHIL JONES

United career stats: 167 appearances, 5 goals

Despite injury affecting the 25-year-old’s 2016/17 campaign, he was still able to make a considerable impact and he played 26 games across all competitions.

Jones featured in all seven of United’s pre-season matches, before also being banned for the Real Madrid clash in Skopje, and admitted while on tour that he was looking forward to the competitive fixtures starting.

He said: 「Everyone is looking forward to it. We know exactly what the manager expects from us and he knows the players inside and out.」

VICTOR LINDELOF

United career stats: 1 appearance

Lindelof became Jose Mourinho’s first signing of the summer when he joined from Benfica in July and he will aim to make himself a real rock in United’s defence in 2017/18.

The 22-year-old Swede featured in all seven of the Reds』 pre-season matches alongside a variety of defensive partners and is adapting to life at the club.

Speaking after his United bow against LA Galaxy, he said: 「It felt very good, I am very happy to have made my debut for this great club.」

MARCOS ROJO

United career stats: 95 appearances, 2 goals

Rojo was a regular in United’s defence last term, appearing at both left-back and centre-half across his 41 appearances in all competitions.

The 27-year-old Argentinian missed out on the pre-season tour of the US with a knee injury, but will be eager to complete his recovery quickly in order to force his way into Mourinho’s first-team plans.

CHRIS SMALLING

United career stats: 244 appearances, 13 goals

Smalling was an integral part of United’s defence last term, making 36 appearances in all competitions.

The 31-time England international was also utilised regularly by Mourinho in pre-season, as he featured in all seven tour matches, and has also captained the team on a number of occasions.

AXEL TUANZEBE

United career stats: 5 appearances

The 19-year-old defender’s versatility was a key factor as he broke into the first team towards the end of the last campaign, as he featured at right-back and in defensive midfield across his five appearances.

Tuanzebe, who is primarily a central defender, continued his development while on tour as well, as he played in five of the Reds』 pre-season matches and has not really put a foot wrong.
