Manchester United faced West Ham United yesterday and once again failed to win. The Red Devils have now drawn their last four home games in the league, first time that has happened since 1980.
Mourinho is under pressure as United are already 11 points behind league leaders Chelsea and 8 points behind Arsenal who occupy the final CL qualification spot.
Hence, United supporters can forget about winning the title and the team must step up big time if they are to have any chance of playing in Europe’s elite competition next season.
The Old Trafford club wants to reinforce their squad in the winter transfer window and are already linked with numerous quality defenders. If reports in the media are anything to go by then United have already moved in to sign Benfica star Victor Lindelof.
According to O Jogo, the Red Devils have initiated talks to sign the highly rated Swedish international. Moreover, Goal understands that United are in negotiations with the Primeira Liga side to sign the €30million rated ($32million) star.
The 22-year-old center back mainly broke into Benfica’s first team in the second half of last season and was impressive in the title winning campaign.
This season, he has featured in 16 games for the Portuguese giants. Back in summer, even Chelsea were interested in signing the talented defender.
