#3 Berbatov urges Mourinho to sign two players

Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has urged Jose Mourinho to sign one or two centre-backs in the upcoming transfer window.

Following a string of intermittent performances, the Red Devils are languishing in the 8th place with 20 points from 12 games. They have already conceded 21 goals in the Premier League this season.

Commenting on the situation Berbatov said, “Man United need to reinforce at the back especially centre-backs, one or two. In every other position, they have several quality players and everything they need, so just defence needs reinforcing. Hopefully they can find one or two and then they should be okay."

“It’ll be more difficult in the winter transfer window then the summer one to make signings for Mourinho but he should be able to find one person he wants to bring in."

“So if there is someone he wants to bring in the board should listen to him because it’s obvious that the club aren’t perfect right now and aren’t in the position that they want to be in. They need to improve on that, if it means bringing one or two people, it shouldn’t be a problem. I mean it’s not like Manchester United are short of money.”
