Could Giovinco complete Manchester United?

Though enjoying a decent profile in Italy he hasn’t become a household name in Europe, mainly because he hasn’t played a lot of Champions League football. The tiny attacking midfielder is a product of the Juventus youth system but has spent large chunks of the last 4 years on loan at Empoli and, latterly, Parma. Last season the impish magician scored 15 goals in just 36 appearances for his loan club. soccersweep thinks that he looked mustard in his cameos for Italy at EURO 2012 and could be the perfect addition to the Manchester United squad if he could be prized away from The Old Lady.

We think that Fergie might tinker with his system again next season. Last time out he largely reverted to a 4-4-2 but, if Kagawa is going to get into the first team straight away then he will either have to play out wide on the left or behind Rooney. Wayne of course prefers to play number 10 but I’m just not sure that Kagawa would be happy getting his boots white out left in a classic 4-4-2.

We think that Fergie might eventually opt for a a more flexible 4-2-3-1 next season with 3 technically adept, quick, attacking midfielders playing behind Wazza. Carrick and Cleverley can protect the defence with Kagawa, Nani/Valencia and someone just like Giovinco causing all sorts of damage behind Rooney. Alternatively, Rooney could stay deeper leaving Chicharito or Wellbeck furthest forward.

There are a mind numbing number of potential variations that United can play in but are we about to see another change in the shape of the team? Will Wayne play up top or stay at number 10? What do you think?

    if fergi is to sign a new player let him do it, the rumour is too much, at least let him get one.

    So ill-informed, Juventus has just resigned this guy from Parma a week ago so get a clue feller.

    Tom Cleverley or as I like to call him, “the maestro”, is an attacking midfield player and an incredibly creative attacking threat at that, not a defensive one so once again you are clueless.

    Time to give Ryan Tunnicliffe some chances with the first team this season, such a great young talent and he deserves a spot in the first team.

    We do not need to buy another midfielder so how’s about all the internet nerds stop begging for one, we have a fantastic squad and if we do buy one it will be one that Fergie wants and not boring newspaper talk like modric, who is not good enough for United, or this rubbish.

    I can see the squad now……unless we make another signing or two obviously, dont buy the newspaper talk, wait until offical word by Manchester United.
    GK: De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos
    DF/FB: Vidic, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Rafael, Jones, Smalling, Fabio (if not out on loan)
    MF/W: Giggs, Scholes, Nani, Cleverley, Valencia, Young, Fletcher, Carrick, Kagawa, Park, Tunnicliffe, Powell.
    F: Chicharito, Rooney, Welbeck, Macheda

    We have a fantastic and extremely talented squad, full of world class players and bright upcomnig stars of the future. The future is bright for ManUtd.

      I agree with you givin some young players a chance but sayin we’ve a fantastic squad I don’t. We need a world class creative midfielder and left back. Goalkeepers are good but in defence unfortunately Rio has lost his pace and Evra always out of position needs a challenge for his position he had few poor games. We need a Modric or Mounthio name 3 games other than community shield that Cleverly was outstanding? I no he was injured ALOT.. Carrick is not good enough. Hopefully Hernandez will find his form again this season Fergie said he likes 4 forwards we’ve 3 Macheda couldn’t make the Qpr team…. So we need new players

    hm… we should buy Moutinho. he is available,young and great player ! He can play CMF★, DMF, SMF, AMF . Rooney should play just in attack,he waste his strenght with running box to box. And we need Baines and that’s it.
