Man United's title challenge will have to wait until they improve their defensive options in transfer window

WEST BROMWICH, England -- It took 83 seconds for West Bromwich Albion to show why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants -- and Manchester United need -- a new centre-back.

Conor Gallagher swung in a hopeful cross from the right and Mbaye Diagne barrelled through Victor Lindelof to head past goalkeeper David De Gea. De Gea might have come for the cross, and Diagne was all over Lindelof, but it was a frighteningly easy way for West Brom, the lowest scorers in the Premier League, to breach Manchester United's defence.
