each of club's nine Champions League fixtures this term while
also making nine appearances in the league.
Manchester United and Arsenal are in dire need
of defenders in the upcoming January transfer

the past midweek to watch Maribor defender Petar
Stojanovic.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had earlier hinted
that he needs to buy a defender in January while the
same also goes for United. The Old Trafford side are
yet to replace Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and
Patrice Evra, all of the three who left in the summer
