Man Utd 'needed to strengthen at the back' in transfer window

[Getty Images] Former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison says Manchester United have "problems at the back" after twice letting a lead slip to draw 2-2 at Everton on Sunday. Ainsley Maitland-Niles' stoppage-time equaliser was the sixth goal Michael Carrick's side have conceded in the three games so far. This is the first campaign in five years where United have let in at least two goals in each of their first three league matches. "Manchester United have strengthened well in the midfield and up front but they needed to strengthen at the back as well," Morrison told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "There's problems at the back. "They needed to buy cover for Luke Shaw - he had a good game against Everton but he's the only recognised left-back. Noussair Mazraoui can play there but he wants to play right-back. "I still thought they could have gone out and got a quality centre-back as well. I know they have Matthijs de Ligt to come back and young Ayden Heaven, but there is a lack of depth. "A partnership of Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire again is not an improvement on last season. "That could be the difference between them finishing in the Champions League places or not this season. I don't think they're title contenders." Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds
