Solid player

We were very much expecting a move by Manchester United for Nathaniel Clyne this summer. But, with the club ostensibly passing up that opportunity, it appears that their gaze is now firmly fixed on another of the top performers in the league over the last couple of seasons.

Our personal favourite read, The Guardian, states that, although a formal approach has yet to be made for Everton full back Seamus Coleman..

..the Republic of Ireland defender does feature on the club’s shortlist of potential signings.

Coleman - Mustard!

Coleman – Mustard!

Coleman was comfortably one of the best players of the season in 2013/14 as his lung bursting runs down the right flank at Goodison drew widespread appreciation.

He didn’t quite hit the heights last season after niggling injuries put paid to a quick start to the campaign. And many had assumed that he had dropped off Manchester United’s radar as a consequence.

But it’s a story that has been picked up by large swathes of the British sports media over the weekend and we strongly recognise Manchester United’s need for a specialist in there.

Tony V has never let anyone down but he simply hasn’t been drilled as a defender and he does make mistakes in defence from time to time.

Coleman would bring commensurate running power to the right flank but also offer a more canny solution to the defensive side of things.

At 26 he’s pacy, athletic and good with the ball at his feet. He has a lovely delivery and scores the odd goal.

Let’s take a look at the lad in a action. Manchester United fans: a wise choice?
