All I can figure out from our current transfer policy is that United don't really give a rat's arse about defending next season. We have two fullbacks left in our ranks and although we have five central defenders, four are unlikely to start the season and the other is injury prone anyway. We've sent the third fullback we have out on loan for the entire season and have purchased Kagawa and Powell, both attacking midfielders, and have revealed interest in Van Persie and Lucas Moura, a forward and attacking winger/midfielder respectively.
Caution, wind, throw!
