Manchester United fans urge Mourinho to sign Kalidou Koulibaly after Napoli defender stars against Liverpool

The Senegal international put in a great performance at the back for the Serie A side at Anfield in the Champions League

Manchester United are in need of a new central defender - could Kalidou Koulibaly be the answer?

Kalidou Koulibaly makes another crucial interception for Napoli

Despite conceding to Mohamed Salah, the Senegal international showed he had the intelligence, pace and technical ability to cut it in the Premier League.

His performance did not go unnoticed by Manchester United fans, who are craving a new defender.

With United conceding goals for fun after failing to land a top centre-half in the summer, Jose Mourinho has been forced to deploy Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay at the back at times.

Back in November, it was reported that Mourinho had failed in a bid to bring Koulibaly to Old Trafford in an £80million deal. And earlier this month, it was claimed the Premier League side had failed again with another huge money for the 27-year-old.

Considering United have conceded 26 goals in the league already, it is hardly surprising to see so many fans wanting to sign such an accomplished defender.

Check out some of the social media reaction for Koulibaly's performance from United fans below...
