Since the departure of former boss Jose Mourinho, ManchesterUnited have so far performed brilliantly under the management of interim coachOle Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Red Devils defeated Newcastle United away from home to win their fourth game on the trot. When it comes to placing bets on the Premier League, we found out that Sports interaction  is the where you want to bet on the latest Man United fixtures, make sure to seize upon the best odds offered by them.

After 21 Premier League fixtures, Man United are sixth in the table, three points behind 5th placed Arsenal and six points behind Chelsea, who currently occupy the final Champions League qualification place.

United need a big winning run if they are to have any chanceof finishing in the top four. For that, Solskjaer should be backed by the management need to reinforce the keyareas of the squad in the winter transfer window.

The club’s biggest dilemma is their shaky backline. Lastseason, they had the second best defense that only conceded 28 goals in theentire league campaign. This time, things have been horrible at the back as theteam has only conceded 32 goals in just 20 games.

Spanish international David De Gea won the Golden Gloveaward after keeping 18 clean sheets last season. This season, he has only kept2 clean sheets so far. To sum it all up, the current defense is just not goodenough

So, Man United chief, Ed Woodward, needs to splash the cashand sign a world class central defender for Manchester United, someone, who canlead the back-line and provide the much needed instructions to organize them.

As per reports going on in the media (TheDaily Mail), numerous top quality central defenders are linked with the OldTrafford club.

In the center of the park, Herrera and Pogba have massivelyraised their game under Solskjaer and United do have enough quality and depthin the department with players like Matic, Fred, Fellaini and Pereira around aswell.

As far as the strike-force is concerned, the Red Devilssplashed the cash to sign Romelu Lukaku from the Toffees last season. TheBelgian international has been in poor form in the current campaign andSolskjaer has done well to regularly utilize Rashford in the center forwardposition. The young England international has been in sensational form in therecent games and should retain his starting place as the main striker.

It will be interesting to see whether the Norwegian boss canget the best out of Alexis Sanchez when the Chilean recovers from his injuryand returns to the squad. The former Barca man was world class for Arsenal buthas so far failed to shine at Old Trafford. For now, the attacking departmentis fine and no reinforcements are needed.
