The additions of Gundogan and Hummels have oft been mentioned in relation to Manchester United transfers and both could feasibly arrive at Old Trafford this summer.
Hummels is a wonderful defender and could make the difference against really top level opposition. But the partnership of Jones and Smalling is looking really promising right now and it seems a shame to break it up. Let’s not forget that they only played together in the centre of defence of for the first time this season against Tottenham a month ago. With the brilliant Paddy McNair and the promising Tyler Blackett coming through, is Hummels the best way to spend the transfer kitty?
As for Gundogan, he’s a tidy footballer who can play in several positions. But his forte is central midfield and does he have the charisma or variety to become Manchester United’s next GREAT midfielder? We still need some convincing.
Manchester United proved themselves to be solid and well-equipped against the best team in the league last weekend. If they lacked one thing it was a game changer – a player like Eden Hazard who can punctuate a mediocre Chelsea performance with a moment of decisive magic.
This is why we feel that Manchester United may be better served to prioritise a move for the majestic Marco Reus this summer. United should also make a move for Memphis Depay but, while the Dutchman is still raw, Reus is already a seasoned match-winner.
Reus – Game Changer
He could play for any team in Europe and, at 25, he’s about to explode onto the world scene – he would already be regarded as one of the world’s top 5 had he not been injured before The Word Cup. He’s beautifully two-footed, glides through defences, scores goals, creates for others and has the football brain to go with the raw talent – a rare skill set indeed.
The idea of Reus and Depay playing on the wings for Manchester United next season summons memories of the greatest Manchester United teams – the ones who got from one end to the other almost in the blink of an eye and made a total mockery of the opposition. With Rooney feeding off the service of Reus and Depay, Manchester United may not need to concentrate too much on their defence next season.
Let’s see Reus in action. Manchester United fans: a better buy than Gundogan or Hummels?

Reus wil be a perfect addition and Hummels a must or any other world class central defender.
