5 Positions Manchester United should strengthen in the summer

Can Lukaku lead Manchester to Premier League glory next season?

#4. Central defence

Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League
Defence has been a sore point for United

Even though Manchester United boast the best defensive record in the Premier League this season where the Red Devils have only conceded 19 goals in 27 matches, the English giants have lost valuable points due to defensive errors.

Chris Smalling, Phil Jones & Victor Lindelof have all been guilty of defensive errors that have led to Manchester United losing grip on title race this season. In order to mount a serious challenge next season, a new central defender is needed at Old Trafford.

Arrival of a new centre-back will inject competition into the team as the current crop of defenders at Man United will have to raise their game while fighting for the two starting slots. This will bring the best out of the current central defenders and ultimately lead them to glory.

Potential targets: Rapahel Varane, Toby Alderweireld, Marquinhos
