Whilst I dont agree with Frank's OTT assertion that Ferdinand and Vidic are on their last legs I do feel we now need a top class center back to compliment the potential of Smalling, Jones and Evans so that would be the first position I'd like us to strengthen....
Second would on the wings. I'm usually not an advocate of wanting players sold but Young needs to go, without doing the I told you so that ****** the hell off of me when I see the likes of Nickg do it I did say at the time of his signing that Young wasn't good enough and so has proven to be the case. Young's so far removed from the level we should have he's practically got Liverpool written all over him. If Nani stays then this position is not so much of a problem area but the writing looks to be on the wall for him so we'll be desperately short in this area of the pitch come the summer.
Lastly and most obviously the midfield, I still think Dembele would have been perfect but he's been and gone so we need to find someone else capable of not only driving forward but being a dominant presence in there as well, Fellaini could be an option especially after hearing Phil Neville saying that the player himself feels his best position is defensive midfield but for me he's always looked at his best being further forward so I'm not sure.... we also need someone who can spot a pass (pardon the cliche), the difference Scholes' passing makes when he comes on compared to that of the likes of Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson etc etc is staggering but then where do you find somone as good as Scholes? Impossible and probably why we haven't signed anyone up till now.
So yeah 3 or 4 players needed imo which is worrying because in the summer I would have said we only needed one
