The transfer window in Europe is expected to close tomorrow and many teams are trying their luck with last-minute signings.
One of them is Manchester United, who want to get stronger ahead of the Champions League and the continuation of the Premier League, in which they hope to return and be a factor in the top fights.
According to reports, Ola Gunnar Solskjaer's side have agreed a two-year deal with striker Edinson Cavani, building on his experience in the Champions League and in general.
However, among the team’s fans and commentators in the kingdom, eyebrows have been raised in the face of the report, as it seems that pioneers are not the Red Devils problem.
A look at the squad, shows that strikers like Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and even young Mason Greenwood are doing their job faithfully at the forefront of United.
Add Bruno Fernandez and the reinforcements from Ajax Donnie van de Bike, and you will find that the Norwegian manager has other troubles, which come from the other side of the pitch.
Indeed, United's defense is bad.
She conceded five goals in two league games (compared to an average of two right-handed goals in those games), while the trio she conceded in the first game against Crystal Palace (3: 1) highlighted how heavy the center of the backcourt was.
This is also evident in the 2: 3 victory over Brighton.
The main problem is the clumsy Victor Lindloff, but no less than him the most valuable brake in history, Harry Maguire, who alongside successful actions turns out to be a very clumsy player.
Even right-back Arun van Bisaka has not yet proven himself enough and on the other side of the defense it seems that Soljiar raises each time a different default.
As a result, it is surprising to find that United are betting, as mentioned, on a 33-year-old striker, who has not played football for more than half a year and insists on his high salary demands, instead of investing in a proper brake.
Nor does Chris Smalling's non-sale to Rome, where he played on loan last season, indicate a strengthening of the backcourt.
Tonight (18:30), the team will arrive at Tottenham Stadium for a game in the fourth round (United have a game missing from the opening round), where the prolific but tired Spurs will be waiting for them, it will be their fourth game in eight days.
If Jose Mourinho's side stand on their own two feet, and given the excellent form in which Harry Kane is, it is possible that Solskjaer and the Manchester United management will be given an explanation as to why Cavani is not the most important acquisition for them.
