#2 United's defence needs to improve

Manchester United v Liverpool - International Champions Cup 2018
United's defence was poor

Jose Mourinho is the manager who believes in playing a defensive game. Manchester defenders Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw are injured, which could trouble the Manchester club in the following season.

Manchester United started with the three defenders, which included Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe. These defenders didn't look comfortable, which is quite natural, as they have rarely played in the back three together.

United have been linked with a number of defenders, which is quite necessary if they want to win the league. With Mourinho as manager, having the good defenders in the team becomes a necessity.

If rumours are to be believed, United are looking to sign either Toby Alderweireld or Harry Maguire, and either of them will be a good addition to the squad.
