Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has identified two defensive recruits who he believes could help his old club turn things around.
United have conceded 40 goals in 29 league games this term - no other side in the top nine has let in more. Amid the struggles at the back under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, Ferdinand has called for his former club to add Marquinhos and Ronald Araujo to their ranks.
Araujo, who has less than 18 months left on his current deal at Barcelona, has been linked with United and a number of their Premier League rivals. Marquinhos, meanwhile, is closing in on a decade at Paris Saint-Germain but will have to wait at least one more year for another shot at Champions League glory.
