Caretaker manager Solskjaer, publicly at least, appears less concerned than Mourinho about the lack of defensive signings this season but a shortage of quality in that area remains an issue. But that sequence was ended on Tuesday in a 2-2 home league draw with Burnley, when United's defensive problems were exposed before a late fightback rescued a point. United have had defensive issues all season, keeping just four clean sheets in 24 Premier League matches. Solskjaer has preferred Jones and Lindelof as his central defensive pairing, with Bailly as an occasional stand-in. Solskjaer has proved in the past that he can solve defensive issues given time.
