Manchester United transfer request that fans should make to Ed Woodward and the council

Although they have managed three draws in the last six games, it is clear that Manchester United probably needs one or two new central defenders to challenge the European elite next season.

United was saved by David de Gea's exploits against Tottenham, while the Spaniard made 11 saves, the highest number of Premier League matches. His incredible talent helped United and Solskjaer win six consecutive games.

However, as we have seen earlier this season, De Gea can not always save United from defensive mistakes. United conceded 32 goals and many suffered defensive calamities. Many United fans have urged the board to strengthen the defense since the beginning of the season.

Kalidou Koulibaly was linked to United in a big money move that could cost £ 90 million to United, after considering how Virgil Van Djik became one of the world's best central defenders after moving to Liverpool in January £ 75 million, United is worth the risk of paying this amount.

Many fans do not think that Phil Jones and Chris Smalling form a partnership strong enough to win the championship and should at best be players on the team.

Victor Lindelof has been in great shape in recent months and has evolved over the past two months. He was shot after making many mistakes in his first season at Old Trafford. Fans think that he has shown enough potential to become a regular starter of United for years to come if he had the ideal partner by his side. Fans say that Eric Bailly has produced several times, but his lack of consistency and his injuries have prevented him from becoming an excellent defender.

He has shown great strength and a good pace and an impeccable attitude, but he must be more consistent. Not a single center back has yet proven he could be future captain or leader of the club, so United needs a new center back that shows these qualities.

The next step for United is Brighton at home. They lost their first game against Brighton in September because of the calamitous defeat of Bailly and Lindelof. The upcoming match should be a comfortable victory looking at the current form of United. The next main test for their defense will be the Champions League matches against PSG, author of three free goals.
