Louis van Gaal is well aware of the fact that he needs to sort out the defense and sign a top quality center back this summer.
If United fail to do so and even De Gea departs then fans can expect the shaky defense next season as well.
Mainly two top La Liga defenders are linked with Man United, Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos and Valencia’s Nicolas Otamendi.
The mentioned duo are top class without a shadow of a doubt and it will be fair to say that Madrid have an overall better squad than Valencia but based on last season’s stats, Otamendi was better than Ramos in key departments.
The Argetnine international was comfortably ahead in terms of tackles won, interceptions and clearances made in the Spanish league last season.
Ramos was slightly marginally better in terms of successful blocks and as far as Errors leading to goals are concerned, the Spaniard made none while Otamendi made just one.
Hence the last season’s stats suggest that Man United must sign Otamendi & not Ramos in this summer transfer window. Here are the stats provided below via Skuawka comparison matrix.

Nicholas Otamendi should be baught because he rarely plays silly and very rough games which can cost penalties and red cards,he is a real power house at the center back and I know that he will play very well at the at the defense along side side Rojo just how they are playing at Copa America and so Ramos should be a suppliment of Otamendi at Man Utd; I want to tell Man Utd fans that Real Madrid can never sell a good player, they only sell after seeing a weakness of a player; Why didn’t they accept selling for us Bale Or Benzema? now they want to take our very good Dea, but why!..please Lvg buy Lacazette before liverpool grabs him then suppliment him with Harry Kane; What a good combination; Thanks.
