Morainho seeks a protector, club meets his wish

Jose Morainho had also sought to reinforce the defense department, which remains Manchester United's weakest point.

But it appears that leaders of the club leading Ed Woodward are convinced that in January it is necessary to make an intervention to reinforce this department.

The Sun reports Mourinho's great wish is Tottenham's protector, Toby Alderweirld, for whom he will make an offer during January.

Belgu is not the first choice of coach Maurizio Poccetino, so the player himself would like to be transferred to a team that is guaranteed to be a title.
