Berbatov: United should buy one or two good centre-backs in the winter window

According to the Daily Mirror, former Red Devils star Dimita Berbatov believes United need to sign one or two centre-backs in the winter transfer window in January.

Manchester United have underperformed since the start of the season this year and are currently eighth in the Premier League table, with a 12-point gap between their city rivals and league leaders Manchester City. Mourinho's side have kept just three clean sheets in 17 all competitions and scored in 14 on attack.

It seems clear that United's problems are in the back line. So Berbatov thinks United should bring in reinforcements on the defensive end. Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Beba said: "They need to reinforce a player or two in the back, especially in the centre-back position. In other positions, United have a couple of efficient players who can provide what the team needs. So only the back line needs to be reinforced. Hopefully they can find the right one or two players and the problem is solved. ”

'For Mourinho, it's harder to bring in in in the winter window than it is in the summer window, but he should be able to find the player he wants.

"So if there's a player in the transfer market that Mourinho wants to bring in, the board should listen to him, because it's clear that United are not perfect enough right now and haven't reached where they should be. United need to improve and if bringing in one or two players works, I don't think that's a problem. I mean Manchester United probably aren't short of money. ”
