Man Utd could be buying defenders in January, says Van Gaal

Thegoalmac can reveal that Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has hinted at moving for defensive reinforcements in January.


He shouldn't be hinting at it, they really need to buy a top quality defender not Pique's type of defender o, just saying. Continue for what he said.

When asked by reporters about making new signings, the United boss replied: "It is clear that a lot of things happen and you can judge better in good times than you can in bad times.

"Maybe you are right [about January recruitment] but we have to see [for] that."

However, Van Gaal - who wants to recall winger Nani from his loan at Sporting Lisbon - rejects the notion that his side are in a defensive crisis.

The Red Devils are off to their worst-ever start to a Premier League season, having taken just 13 points from their first 10 games.
