Manchester United reprortedly tried and failed to sign the Belgian international Thomas Vermaelen over the summer.
He instead joined Barcelona and went on to continue the injury nightmare that haunted him at Arsenal. He has yet to play a competitive game at senior level and only started training with the full squad a couple of weeks ago.
Latest reports suggest that Manchester United will make an unlikely move for the crocked Barca star in January:
Ter Stegen and Vermaelen loans lined up
They say that pride comes before a fall but perhaps the player has already turned Manchester United own once too often.
After such horrendous injuries at Manchester United this you would also image that the club would be loather to sign any more players who are susceptible to injury.
Manchester United Chief Exec Ed Woodward has been quoted as saying that the club won’t be going for any quick fix signings over the winter so this transfer would surely look a tad contradictory. And Vermaelen could well spend much of his time at Manchester United on the injury table.
So we think that this one makes little to no sense and most likely won’t happen.
Let’s see some Vermaelen highlights. Manchester United fans: chance missed for the player?
