New CB needed
Manchester United could improve their defence by bringing in a quick centre-back to partner Harry Maguire, says transfer expert Duncan Castles.
United splashed out a world-record fee for a defender of £80million on Maguire when he joined from Leicester last summer.
“They’ve got the goalkeeper, they can hang onto the goalkeeper, very difficult to improve on him at the kind of prices that you’re looking at for goalkeepers,” Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast.
“You could, and I think this is where they will have to go if they want to upgrade the defence, put a higher quality centre-back in beside Maguire and he will need to be quick, will need to be very quick, to compensate for Maguire’s lack of pace and his positional errors.”
