Manchester United are expected to be one of the busiest clubs throughout the January transfer window, which officially opened on New Year’s Day.Ole Gunnar Solskajer is overseeing the club’s transfer business following his appointment as caretaker manager last month, succeeding Jose Mourinho when the Portuguese was sacked.

Solskjaer has preferred a 4-2-3-1 system since his appointment as caretaker manager, utilising the same basic set-up as Mourinho but with a much more offensive mindset.A large core of the team will remain the same beyond January and into the foreseeable future, with the likes of David De Gea, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku forming a solid enough spine throughout the centre of the team.Where this spine is weakest, however, is in defence.Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo are clearly not of therequisite quality to remain starters for a team with Manchester United’s ambitions, while Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly seem to exist on the cusp of being good; the pair have shown flashes of talent, but no one thinks they are worth building a side around.It is no surprise, then, that bringing a new central defender to Old Trafford is seen as a priority.Mourinho was angered by the club’s failure to sign a centre-back throughout the summer, and it appears those in charge are ready to give in to the Portuguese’s wishes – a month after they sacked him.Kalidou Koulibaly, the Senegal and Napoli star, is allegedly Man United’s prime target, but it will cost a pretty penny to secure his signature; The Guardian say Napoli will only sell the 27-year-old for 107million.
