Saha unsure whether Man Utd can get into top four


Louis Saha has urged Manchester United to address their defensive problems in the January transfer window or risk missing out on the Champions League again.
United dropped to 10th place in the Barclays Premier League after Sunday's 1-0 derby defeat to Manchester City and Saha fears his former club could now finish outside the top four for the second successive season.
David Moyes was sacked last April just 10 months after succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson as United went from champions to seventh - their lowest league position for 25 years - and replaced by the experienced Dutchman Louis van Gaal.
"I hope they finish in top four but I can't be sure," said Saha, who scored 42 goals in 124 appearances for United between 2004 and 2008.

"A club of this size should be looking for the fourth spot to be in the Champions League but it is not the case right now.
"You could say the issues are at the back but it's about balance, finding the right midfielder to keep the ball and a defender to be strong at a certain point of the game.
"It's difficult to predict what will happen but when you have a very balanced side you have balanced results.
"I'm not more experienced than Louis van Gaal to know what was a (defensive) regret for him but we will see at the end of the season, and what he does in this window this winter will be very important for Manchester United.
