Transfer decision Solskjaer must take to avoid ending like Mourinho

There is a transfer warning in the air for new interim Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as to the firm decision he must take to avoid ending like his predecessor Jose Mourinho.

The talks of the need for new defenders have been up for almost a year at the Old Trafford, yet nothing has been down about it even though it is more glaring than the obvious.

Although, there seems to be a new structure at the Old Trafford now which reduces the power of the manager to have a call on the players he wants to have like Mourinho but he has been advised to ensure that there is a final solution to the defensive crisis in the team this term.

There are fears that the former United player will only end like Mourinho should he not ensure about two or more additions in that position if they must mount the pressure for a top four finish or risk playing in the Europa League next season.

Although, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deserves some accolades for his inputs so far in the team that is not to say that the right thing should not be done even as an interim coach.
