The defensive concerns of Manchester United are in no mood of ending at the moment for Louis van Gaal.
Already the Dutch manager had few quality options at the back, with that he has to deal with injury to senior players as well.
The current scenario is shambolic for the Red Devils who are in desperate need to sign top defenders in the winter transfer window.
Many central defenders have been linked with a move to Old Trafford in the past few months. The question remains, who will be joining United in winter.
According to reports, Manchester United have made bid for one of their former stars and current Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.
However, United are not the only ones to have moved for the Spanish international with Chesea and Arsenal have also submitted offers as per the provided link.
Pique has won every major prize with Manchester United as well as Barcelona but he did not get much game time under Alex Ferguson during his time at Old Trafford.
Now, he is facing the same dilemma with the Catalan giants since the arrival of new boss Luis Enrique.
The highly experienced defender Pique was left out in the stands for Barcelona’s latest CL game against Ajax increasing speculation that the La Roja star will be departing Nou Camp.
Pique is rated around $32m and Barcelona may get the asking price for him with top clubs chasing his signature.

MU should start talking to Pique now, before the window opens, and agree the Pre Agreement Transfer. If not, other PL big guns will steal him under MU nose.
Pique was a Manchester united player when he was very young. Like every player he wanted out because the then manager, Sir Alex Ferguson did not give him enough playing time. We need a world class defender who has already imbibed the United ideology. We need a player who would not join us for the asking price. United should immediately send a scout to have talks with our son and arrange all terms at least a month before the window opens. Other PL vultures will also be interested but I can assure you that Pique will choose his former club because he knows we are class, because he knows we can make it to the Champions League and because at least Sir Alex Ferguson is no more. We should make him appear very important. Every player needs that. Let’s not waste any more time. Forget about Matt Hummels and the others, Pique is our breed and is as good as any on the line.
