Manchester United would look to repair and restructure their team after a dreadful summer window. All the teams will be ready for the January transfer window.
Red Devils would want to make it to top 4 and in order to be successful in the second half of Premier League, a substantial signing is must, one which can help the team leap-frog points table.
Only a month into January transfer window, United’s board has already short-listed their pick from the bunch. Manchester seems deeply in need of many players but has to be careful that their transfer window does not turn out to be disappointing like last one, where the Glazers paid a huge chunk for Sanchez.
A vacuum in various positions has to be filled. Who are the right candidates? Who are the ones that could turn the tables for United?
Striker
A subtle art demands perfection. To conform to Mourinho’s narrow needs and tactics, Diego Costa would be a striker of our need. Although we do have Lukaku & Rashford but someone like Costa who already has had an experience in the Premier League would be of help.
Centre-Back
For the first time since 1977 United have a negative goal rate after 12 games. An explicit stat of a center-back sitting on the fence.
Toby Alderweireld has been Mourinho’s ask and someone in the shade of United. An experienced campaigner, as well as a well-acquainted player, is the least we could ask for.
Right – Back
A fan turned player always possesses that inner flame to be crowd’s favorite. Thomas Meunier, United’s die-heart fan & a threat from the right is an appropriate proxy for Young & Valencia.
These two have been performing well but aging with number. A product for future, Meunier can be Mourinho’s new find that he would want to nurture.
Right Winger
Ousmane Dembele! An art in motion. The Frenchman & a prolific youngster can bring pace in the right wing for United that seems to have gone astray.
The Barcelona winger has been conjectured to a transfer swap with Paul Pogba. A definite need for a consistent right winger who can constantly outdo opponents, Mourinho’s eye has to fall on him.
Goalkeeper
A whopping £2,75,000 per week has been reportedly offered to De Gea in a new deal which has been consistently denied. The Spaniard seems to find a new shelter to work for and different woodwork to stand between.
If Manchester is not successful in making David stay, Woodward has probably found English international Jordan Pickford as his option. Presently in Everton, Pickford is the replacement in sight of United board.
