Manchester United who suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Huddersfield in a setback to their title ambitions, now consider options of improving its midfield.

Paul Pogba, Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini are all down to injuries making Mourinho’s side weak at the center.

Old Trafford chiefs are busy scouting in Spain with an aim of landing £30 million lad Carlos Soler from Valencia, reports kwese espn.

Soler has played a key role in Valencia's red hot start to the season and featured in Saturday's 4-0 win over Sevilla to keep them second, four points behind leaders Barcelona.
