Manchester United failed to sign a new central defender during the last transfer wind despite Ole Gunnar Solkjaer argument was to improve that specific area. The main target of the season was the star of RB Leipzig Dayot Upamecano or Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly, but they have to choose a cheaper defender.

That’s when this new player shows up, the team has been linked to James Tarkowski, a 27-year-old defender that is actually playing at Burnley. The English player made it from the Football League Championship to the Premier League and he is on a strong level at this point.

Is this what Manchester United needs? Red Devils could get to the Champions League at the last second and they have a very difficult group facing Paris Saint Germain and RB Leipzig. The main center backs are Harry Maguire and Eric Bailly at the moment, but fans are questioning if those two are Champions League material.

The truth is that the English team needs some fresh players, they have signed Alex Telles but he is a left back pretty offensive and that won’t solve any defensive problems to the team. We will have to wait and see if they go on to the round of 16 in the Champions and then look for a new star to get them higher.
