Tottenham Hotspur target could be the answer to Manchester United's defensive woes

Manchester United have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight matches.

In that time they have conceded 12 goals and won just twice. You have to go back almost two months to February 15 to find a time when United kept a clean sheet and won a match - a 2-0 home win over 10-man Brighton.

On Saturday, it was the turn of the attackers to bear the brunt of the criticism as United slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Everton. A deflected winner from Anthony Gordon could hardly be blamed on the defence, who didn’t concede for the rest of the game, while their frontmen failed to find the net against a side who have shipped 52 goals in 30 league games this season.
