Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed caretaker manager after Jose Mourinho was sacked by the club

Kalidou Koulibaly

SSC Napoli v Red Star Belgrade - UEFA Champions League Group C

This talented African defender has raised quite a few eyebrows with his impressive defensive displays for Serie A side Napoli. The 27-year-old Senegalese international is currently one of the hottest prospects in Europe and many big clubs are looking to get his signature.

He has been heavily linked to United and the Napoli chief confirmed that the club has rejected a huge offer from Manchester United for this player recently. With Napoli determined to hold on to their defensive asset, United need to splash big to secure his signature.

He is strong, athletic, and seems like the best person to address United’s defensive woes. It is believed that Koulibaly was one of the first names in the Special One’s bucket list and it would come as no surprise if Solskjaer sanctions the deal this winter.

Koulibaly is an exceptional talent and United’s defense would immediately be bolstered by his presence.
