Man Utd Transfers: 5 Defenders David Moyes Could Sign To Shore Up Back 4

is the worst in 11 years. You might not have known that, because since the renaissance the back four enjoyed since the turn of the year that saw David de Gea concede just the six league goals in 2013, this statistic has been conveniently airbrushed from the Red Devil's season highlights. In the first 19 games of the 2012/13 season, United's back four conceded 28 goals, which works out at an average of 1.47 goals-per-match. The last time the Reds endured such poor defensive form was in 2001 when they conceded the same number of goals in their first 19 matches. They finished third that season behind league winners Arsenal and runners-up Liverpool. But because of van Persie's heroics and because United won the title, the glaring fallibilities at the back will now be paid very little attention. Except in this article. Here, we look at 5 Defenders David Moyes Could Sign To Shore Up the Back 4 next season.
