Manchester United are looking for defenders in the winter transfer window and it is highly likely that they will sign at least one.
Louis van Gaal is delighted with the team’s attack but the defensive concerns are still hampering the progress.
Once again, United went asleep early on in a game and conceded against Stoke to eventually drop more points.
Southampton and Tottenham are now closing in and United must improve to keep hold of third place.
Van Gaal needs a quality central defender and a full back to reinforce United’s defense.
As far as fullback position is concerned, Rafael is fit but Van Gaal does not really prefer him and hence not making into the starting XI.
Even winger Valencia is getting the nod ahead of him plus Rafael is not really fruitful in attack either as that is the sort of versatile wing-back Van Gaal wants.
According to reports, Manchester United are tipped to bid €26m for Everton fullback Seamus Coleman.
Coleman made it into the PFA team of the year last season and was linked with Old Trafford move in summer as well.
As per the provided link, Coleman tops Van Gaal’s wish list and if United could not sign him in winter, they are confident to seal his signing next summer.

Pls LVG. management of man utd club u are the pple sabotaging the progress and deliberately wanted to dent the good and previous good records of the club achieved so far in history of food ball in the world. unknown club whom have no single record in foot ball will settle down and buy quality players that can give the club a deserve result at any time needed that club is in dear need of points, how can a club today like man utd will played a match and end up with a goalless draw. GOD for bit bad thing. pls go for more expensive mid fielders, attacker that is fast in finishing, wingers that can measure the position of their attackers before crossing the ball. pls. remember David Beckham in times of locating and when and where to cross the ball. Attacking remember Ronaldo, Tevez, and Rooney era when there is a contact attack. who capable of that today at man utd. pls bring back the lost glory of this club in eyes of its teaming supporters across the world.
If LVG doesn’t dump the twin clowns aka Evans and Smalling here and now, he can forget winning the “trophy” ( the customary 4th place “trophy” coveted and celebrated by Arsenal )… Moyes was towing the SAF the Godfather line but LVG should be free to see these two (along with Fletcher, Young, Anderson et el ) are the root causes of a faltering Utd. Still there’s time. Please open your eyes, unlike SAF..
We know there is a problem with our defence line.let’s not rush into panic buying at this point in time let’s go for best defenders were are the scout of the team?
If we want to finish in top4 we need to get two top class central defenders and a world class box to box midfielder
The duds that we have as defenders leave a lot to be desired,Evans should retire , maybe Vedic should be brought back he I bet would do better than the two duds we have at this moment,also maybe McNair and Blackett
Can do better
Man U need a CH but Rafael and Valencia will done just fine at right back, thank-you. Everton will want upwards of 25 to Million for Coleman and he just isn’t worth it. Additionally, United have several Good young players that will be in contention in a year or two.
For Me 80mil is enough
1.Buy 1 experienced CB that understands the system…Vlaar 10mil (don’t spend big on any defender above 28years)
2.Buy 1 defensive midfielder 15mil…to kill off games (that mikel effect) even if they are over 28 like de jong can do.
3.But 2 young talents like verratti,wijnaldum,lucas silva…to invest and add depth
4.1 winger 20mil (left wing) gaitan,munain anyone who can deliver better than janujaz..
Reasons:
No club is willing to sell their good players and if they do,they are expensive.Buying this january window seems difficult but we can secure deals for the next window..
For now,we need someone jones,smalling,especially evans can respect and accept to lead them.They are fantastic only when you are not dependent on them.they haven’t grown from the time of sir alex..but growth takes time and they don’t have a teacher.. Vlaar can be their LVG on the pitch.
You need to think of balance and futures of players as well..more than one CB will lead to McNair leaving or blackett and at manchester we like giving young players a chance.”#Quoting ferguson”
Buying a lot of experienced players will make others have no chance….think of it like this : we can’t have 5 or 6 CB’s fighting for 2 CB positions..we might loose McNair who is free to negotiate with other clubs.
Also young players competing with players in a similar age group but talented,the likes of wilson,perreira won’t feel like they can’t get a chance than with buying established players.
Incoming Young but talented players ages of 19 to 24 will sparkle that united feeling and be an investment..(CHECK FIFA14 or 15 for them)..remember we are rebuilding for the latters years aswell.we can build other pogba’s
Janujaz and the flanks have been disappointing,
I alwasy pray he doesn’t play hence we need more..watch gaitan and his assisting skills..at united we love wing play and cut-back football.if we can bring in one winger then van gaal can play a 4-3-3,5-3-2,4-5-1 away from home.
FACT: United will finish in TOP FOUR!!! And then what??? With ageing expensive players we bought at 30mil,40mil…it doesn’t make sense.depth is what we need cuz we buy HUMMELS and he suffers a terrible injury when we used all our resources??? With hummels now we still won’t win..but with him next season we will..plus the depth of talent which we wouldve obtained.
people sometimes don’t understand football but they like it most, our team is running short of a good mid, as we always say the team must buy box to box player, that all what expose our defence. Van Gaal came with a new formation of 3 defenders and from all those guys we have at the back they were use on 4-4-2 of SAF, and injuries never forgive the innocent guys. I wanted Evans, Fletcher, Raphael released before we suffer more pains of defeats. We are fighting for champions league tournaments so we can’t call it a team talking about such guys. Smalling, McNair, Blackett must stay. We need a right back and a centre back and a box to box midfield player, then we are a complete team to compete on European games. Blackett and Januzaj, Perriera must get teams and be loaned before we lose them like Pogba.
Smalling is playing as a central defender and he also play as a right winger, Rojo play both central and left back, Phil Jones as a central defender and defensive mid, Valencia as a winger and right back, Blackett has been tried central and also played as a left back, I think these are players who must be recognised when we buy new players. And if we finish at the top four we must register them all in order to cover injury crisis through out the season on Premier and champions league. We have quality it only need time and patience with us fans. If they but Strootman I think problem will be sorted, we move Blind yo any position because he plays anywhere mid, left or centre back. Don’t underrate Van Gaal’s signing philosophy, he will come up with a solid team next year. Buying Coleman, and Strootman this Jan will be fine then get a good central defender on summer.
