Replacing this out-of-form keeper should be United's major concern in the summer

When the whole team is busy defending, and there is the impenetrable David de Gea in goal, what is the point of even having a proper defensive line?

Pundits and fans have come out against the likes of Smalling and Young - stating that they are not Manchester United quality. They might be right, but so what? Playing a right midfielder as a right back might not be the best solution, but it is, at the most, a solution.

Lindelof is still young and is taking his time to adjust himself to the tactics of the team and the absence of Jones hasn't made things easy for the Red devils. Things like these are part of the game and cannot be blamed on the manager or the players. It is clear who the problem is - David de Gea. Letting in two goals is inexcusable.

Besides, it is not like United have extra cash laying around. They aren't a team that just goes around splashing close to 100 million euros on a midfielder. It is the money that is ruining football; not Mourinho.
