Smalling and Evans are both very good..
In the options you stated, Subotic is pretty good, Dante - haven't played with him, so dunno, Bartra is prett decent too, Papadopoulous is very, very good, but not as a defender[but rather as a BWM]. His low concentration and composure will mean huge problems eventually.. Eder Alvarez Balanta and Doria should still be your two best options..

Hands down, Eder Alvarez Balanta. Best defender in the game, for me.
I went for a different approach I liked to keep with the academy so I brought Shawcross in, he will eventually replace Vidic because of his battling qualities and he's produced by United and homegrown. I brought in Umititi great french lad, young and can play LB well.

Short Term - Sucotic you will get him for 6 mill.
Long term there are too many to name. Balanta is the best option but any of the others above will be very good too

Jones if not already used. Great CB at United already. Otherwise Varane (expensive) or Balante (cheap). I did spend the cash on Varane as Real wanted to sell him start of first season ofc I overpaid (?43mln). He has been a beast. And if you're lucky Real will want to buy Hummels, can't make the deal and buy one of your crappier defenders (sold Luiz back to them for ?20 mln).
Balanta is not tall enough, he has poor consistency and can be easily hurt. Doria from Botafogo is tall, very fast and he will be world class. You can play him from the day one, he is ready for any championship, just use him in your first team. Kurt Zouma would be my second choice, but he is not available at the beginning of the season. You have to wait till winter window transfer.
Balanta has poor consistency? This screenshot disagrees:

As for injuries, he's had only one injury of more than 10 days in 5 and half years:

Besides, I think a potential of -10 says it all.

Mersk +1 .
I do have in my team already Hummels and Subotic but Balanta already put Subotic into bench
Atm before season 2 i am seriously thinking to sell Subotic and get Umtiti for the future .. Doria ? Couldn't get him soon enough and he went to Benfica ..now too expensive to get.
Btw what do you think about selling Subotic ?

This screenshot doesn't show consistency. If he performed in fist game average rating of 9 and next two matches he's got 6.5 and allowed two goals, the average for the three matches will be 7.33. In fact, FM 2014 has a problem with ratings. They are inconsistent and sometimes aberrant. I had a left back who was rated with 6.1 and my assistant said that's because he failed to pass to his team mates. I found in this player's statistics that pass attempted was 32 and pass succeeded was 30. Besides, I saw all that game, extended game and he played very well. Those two of his passes were intercepted. My team was winning and I didn't allow any goal.
Consider yourself lucky, 5 weeks in first year tough is not pleasant.
This one does:

And this is just his recent form. He's been like this for 5 years. I can't remember ever seeing him below 6.5, and even those ratings are very rare.
Not sure why I should consider myself lucky. His injury proneness is set to 0, meaning it will randomize from game to game. So you can't say he's injury prone as a default. Which by the way is also the case for his consistency. So saying he's inconsistent and injury prone simply isn't true.
Ok, I give up. I have two saves and in both he wasn't play very well. Probably, there are some random variables which affect the game.
What do you mean injury proneness is set to 0?
Consistency and injury proneness is set to 0 in the editor. This means that they will randomize from game to game. In one game his consistency could be 20 and his injury proneness 1, meaning he'd be out of this world, will always perform and never get injured. On the other hand, he could get a consistency of 1 and an injury proneness of 20, meaning the opposite would happen.
So since both his consistency and injury proneness are randomized from game to game, we can't say he's inconsistent or injury prone as a default. In other words, how he performs in your game (or mine, for that matter) could be completely different from someone else's game. But one thing we do know is his potential, which is -10, the highest possible.

Then you shouldn't argue with me. The regular player doesn't modify in the editor, and your opinion could mislead them. In one of my two saves he has injuru proneness 12 and consistency 11 and in the other one injury proneness 10 and consistency 10.
