These include the likes of Radamel Falcao, Angel Di Maria, Alex Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku.
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has sought to change that since he arrived at the club.
The Norwegian has not shied away from making hefty signings, however his acquisitions seem to be aligned with his vision. Whereas before, United often bought hastily and spent big for the sake of spending big, Solskjaer has steered clear of that.
His recruitments, such as the likes of Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes have been sage transfers who have already made important contributions to the club.
Yet undoubtedly, something still remains missing and with a huge purported transfer budget for the upcoming summer window, it is clear Solskjaer will continue to spend big.
A player who has been linked with United is the Senegalese and Napoli centre back, Kalidou Koulibaly. The world class defender is one of the best in the world in his position right now.
Koulibably’s commanding presence could have a transformative impact on the Red Devils. The Senegalese international is able to read the game astutely and has lightning quick pace as well as a bulky figure which gives him unyielding strength.
Attackers can hardly get past him. Koulibaly is like an interminable wall at the heart of defence.
And it seems, United will fancy their chances of signing the superstar with Kalidou Koulibaly looking increasingly likely to leave his current club Napoli.
According to Italian outlet Ill Mattino via Daily Express, Kalidou Koulibaly has informed the Napoli president about his intention to move on from the club in the upcoming summer transfer window.
That will give the Red Devils a huge boost, especially as they seem to be the frontrunners for Koulibaly’s services.
Would you be happy with the signing of Kalidou Koulibably?
