Manchester United fans here in the Tavern are hoping that their side can challenge for the title next season, as bitter rivals Manchester City have mounted an unassailable lead.
The Red Devils will be desperate to improve on their efforts so far this season, as they find themselves out of the Champions League and have accepted defeat in the race for the title. Although, many of our local Mancunians here in the Tavern are hoping that the summer transfer window will boost their chances, as a few quality signings could help United secure the top-flight trophy next season.
Indeed, it appears that Jose Mourinho is plotting a defensive overhaul in the summer months, as he’ll look to bring in a completely new defensive line. Of course, this could give Manchester United the upper-hand as they head into the next campaign, with a few world-class defensive additions making it almost impossible for any opposition to find a way past their defence.
Therefore, here’s a look at THREE star defenders that Mourinho simply must sign…
Samuel Umtiti
Samuel Umtiti has established himself as one of the best defenders in world football so far this season, as he continues to grind out accomplished performances at the highest level.
Indeed, the 24-year-old has been the standout performer in Barcelona’s defence, with many of our local residents wanting so see him at Old Trafford in the summer months.
Therefore, United should look to make a move for the defender in the summer transfer window, as he could definitely bolster the Red Devils’ defence with consistent performances in Europe and domestic competitions.
Raphael Varane
Raphael Varane is arguably one of the most exciting products in Spanish football, as he continues to grind out world-class performances for current club Real Madrid.
Indeed, the Frenchman often comes out on top against some of the world’s best attackers, as his electrifying pace and incredible defensive abilities make him an almost impossible task to overcome.
Therefore, United should look to make a move for the 24-year-old in the summer transfer window, as a versatile defender that can guarantee consistency for an entire season.
Alex Sandro
Alex Sandro is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous players in the whole of world football, as he’s added goals to his game in the current campaign.
Indeed, the Brazilian has contributed goals and assists from defensive and attacking positions so far this season, as a versatile defender that can play pretty much anywhere down the left-hand side of the pitch.
Therefore, United should look to bring the 27-year-old to Old Trafford in the summer months, as an exciting full-back that can chip in with goals from time to time if the strikers are struggling.
