Manchester United are eager to sign quality defenders and mainly look to cover the positions of central defense and right back.
The above mentioned positions are the ones Louis van Gaal did not reinforce adequately in the summer transfer market.
As far as the full back position is concerned, one of transfer targets included Juventus star and Swiss international Lichsteiner.
His contact was due expiry next summer and the Serie A champions feared of losing such a quality player on a bosman but fortunately that will not be the case.
As per the above provided Express link, Lichsteiner has finally ended speculation and agreed a new deal with the Italian giants.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have turned their attention towards Everton full back Seamus Coleman and the Red Devils are ready to spend heavy in order to secure his signing.
Lichsteiner will turn 31 on 16th January and surely he will not have been the long term solution for the Old Trafford club and Coleman is the better choice.
Still, signing arguably the best right back in the country is easier said than done.
Here is the image of Lichsteiner signing his new contract with Juve.

I think vangaal is confused with his selection for matches now that all players are available. but he must sort it out now for man utd to cement third spot.
really van gaal’s poor selection has made da players themselves at six’s and sevens coz previously has been winning despite some injuries now some are back but stil the opposite.let him together with his staff sit en sort out who should start for the good of the club and to compensate for the last season’s losses
I think Van Gaal should go for Seamus Coleman, that will be better.
4mi,i strongly bliv RVP shuld b dropped in favour of Falcao cuz he has past his best…..LVG shuld stop favouritism n use playerz dat wil help d team gt goalz….no offence 2 RVP
alwayz this 3-5-2 formation give man utd and lvg tough times in most of their games. This formation is the only big problems of man utd this season
Van gaal is a good and experienced coach but the problem now on the side of our coach is that he is too experimentality for which if you are too experimental you get nothing thus where he fails to produce something tangible. We are in the second round but still he dont have first x1 , even in terms of selection i also have a question mark bcz if all players are fit why can you put evans , blacket on the x1 or even on the bench while lefting falcao , rojo , rafael on the side line. I erged him to be serious revise your mistakes and never ever repeat them. And i also want you to sign one good defender
LVG,i am disapointed in you.where ever you are.you see the day you stop being tribalistic the better for you y do you alwayskeeping falcao on the bench when you knw RVP is playing nothing but because his like a son and a family friend and your country man you keep him on the pitch even when he loses many chance one on one with keeper you rather remove falcao who is playing well and keep that fool of RVP,sorry you are about to loose ur professionallism by keeping RVP
I still have faith in LVG & RVP,. What I am not happy about is the position if Rooney. I think Wayne should be playing in a more advaced role and Felaini should do more running around with Mata. Utd used to have Roy & Paul, no messing about. That’s where games are won. This gives the defence more confidence abd eases up the pressure. ..while the attack is fed more often….I mean a better attack than that. Coz against Southampton, Frazer hardly touched the ball.. 3 shots by Di-Maria off target. Matta couldn’t do better… Play Rooney as N10 in a free role just like under Fergie, let him run, all over the park and you will see…I feel Roo us being trapped… Make Mata & lazy Felaini run and run until they drop….I would eat that grass if I were playing in midfield.. please, try this abd you will see, LVG.. I am 100% sure you will be a success at Old Trafford
