Manchester United are in search of quality defenders this winter and the priorities include a central defender and a right back.
Numerous quality defenders have been linked with a move to Manchester United and the fans are anxiously waiting for new arrivals.
For now, United have the likes of Rojo, Evans, Jones, Smalling and other youngsters for the position of central defense but none of them are class enough yet to replace the likes of Ferdinand and Vidic.
As far as Right back situation is concerned, Rafael is the main man but lately Van Gaal has been using Valencia as the wing in his absence and the Dutch manager prefers someone who can help in attack and can be brilliant in defense as well.
Players like Dani Alves of Barcelona and Lichtsteiner of Juventus perfectly fit the kind of wingbacks Van Gaal wants in his side.
There were rumors that Lichsteiner will be leaving the Italian champions for a premier league move but as per latest reports, the Swiss defender has finally agreed contract to stay with the Serie A side.
The 30 year old star has played 14 league games this season, scored 2 goals and also provided 4 assists. The stats clearly explain his ability to help in attack as well.
Nevertheless, Manchester United will now have to look for other options to fill the right full back position.
Will they be able to sign one in the winter transfer window? Only time will tell.
