While early-season reports indicated that Manchester United needed more defenders we have always been at the opinion that it’s the midfield which needs an overhaul.
Januzaj, Kagawa, Carrick – yes. Zaha – should be given more chances. Young, Nani, Cleverley, Fellaini – NO way! Valencia – needs to find form fast. While Januzaj looks like a world-beater in the making there is a strong suggestion that he will end up in a more central position in the team.
All this waffle is another way of saying that Manchester United really need to concentrate on the wider areas of the squad if they are going to maintain a 4-4-2 formation.
Manchester United fans want wingers like Kanchelskis, Giggs, Ronaldo and a faster Beckham. Players who made the expensive tickets worth buying. Players who would literally get you out of your seat.
These days you get about as much enjoyment watching Manchester United’s wing-play as you would with me dangling my sweaty bits in your face while you are trying to watch the end of a really good movie.
Well today The Mirror says that Manchester United are after a Sporting Lisbon teenager. Yes that’s the club that Ronnie came from! He must be good! What’s that? Nani came from there too? Oh right.
Manchester United are scouting Sporting Lisbon winger Carlos Mane.
The 19-year-old, who has been a revelation for Sporting’s B team in the Portuguese second tier and played for them in the NextGen club tournament, has a £1million buy-out clause in his contract.
Let see the young hopeful in action. Manchester United fans are you happy to sign low-profile youngsters or should Moyes be buying marquee names?
