Last season, under the management of Louis van Gaal, Manchester United had the best defensive record in the Premier League.
The Old Trafford club only conceded 35 goals in the last campaign, the same number as Tottenham Hotspur and the Red Devils have further improved the quality of their defense by signing (Official MUFC) a top defender in the form of Eric Bailly from Villareal.
On the other hand, United could only score 49 league goals, their worst tally since the inception of the Premier League and Mourinho must sign proven quality players to strengthen the attack.
Last summer, Van Gaal let go strikers like Van Persie, Falcao, Hernandez and Wilson (loan) to lure only Martial. Even the French international is not an out and out striker.
Anthony Martial netted 11 league goals and ended the season as United’s top scorer.
In such a scenario, Manchester United must now focus on signing a world class out and out forward next, someone who will score at least 20 plus league goals a season. Only then Jose can think about winning the league title next season.
Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic is heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford and United must do all to secure the signing of the former Barcelona striker.
Zlatan netted 38 goals in 31 games for the French champions Paris Saint-Germain last season. Even at 34, Ibra is one of the best goal scorers around.
