3 January signings who could help Manchester United finish in the 'top-four' this season

#1 Kalidou Koulibaly

The Senegalese is among the most sought-after players in the world

Manchester United have conceded 32 goals in the Premier League this season, and have the joint worst defensive record among the 'top-6' teams. They tried to sign a centre-back in the summer transfer window, but unfortunately, they failed to finalise a deal with any of their top targets, and ended up falling short in the position

The Red Devils are again in the market for a centre-back, and Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly is identified as the top target by the club.

The Senegalese international is presently among the best defenders in the world, and could be a dream signing for Manchester United.

Koulibaly is a quick, tall, and strong defender who is comfortable with the ball at his feet, and possesses an excellent passing range as well. He has completed 1183 passes this season, with an impressive accuracy of 88.6 percent. With 25 interceptions and 34 tackles completed in the league alone, he is among Napoli's top performers.

However, the 27-year-old is among the most sought after players at the moment, and other big clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid are also showing interest in him. Manchester United need to pay a big fee in order to secure the services of the Senegalese international.
