Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov has advised Jose Mourinho's side to sign one or two centre-backs in the January transfer window.
According to him, United's problem so far this season is the defence line.
Mourinho's side have conceded 21 goals in 12 Premier League games so far this season.
United have made an inconsistent start to the season and find themselves in the eighth position on the English topflight league table, 12 points behind Premier League leaders, Manchester City.
Berbatov, however, wants the Red Devils to recruit new defenders next year.
"Man United need to reinforce at the back especially centre backs, one or two," Berbatov told Mirror Football.
"In every other position they have several quality players and everything they need, so just defence needs reinforcing. Hopefully they can find one or two and then they should be okay.
"It'll be more difficult in the winter transfer window then the summer one to make signings for Mourinho but he should be able to find one person he wants to bring in.
"So if there is someone he wants to bring in the board should listen to him because it's obvious that the club aren't perfect right now and aren't in the position that they want to be in. They need to improve on that, if it means bringing one or two people, it shouldn't be a problem.
"I mean it's not like Manchester United are short of money."
United will take on Crystal Palace on November 24 at Old Trafford after the international break.
