Manchester United supporters in the Transfer Tavern are delighted with Jose Mourinho’s transfer dealings so far.

Our resident Red Devils are excited at the prospect of watching Victor Lindelöf and Romelu Lukaku championing the iconic red shirt this forthcoming season.

It seems that United are destined to continue their mega-money operation, as a flurry of players has been linked with transfers to Old Trafford over the duration of previous weeks.

Eric Dier, Nemanja Matic and Ivan Perisic have all been frequently linked with moves to the North of England.

Mourinho is assembling a squad to challenge for Premier League glory, having concluded the last campaign in an underwhelming sixth place.

Additionally, the prospect of European glory is equally enticing, as United prepare to participate in four major competitions.

Our landlord has decided to focus on the potential arrival of Ivan Perisic, here are THREE stats that prove he would be a superb addition to the Europa League winners…….

Stat 1: 11 league goals as a winger

The key for any title-winning side, as Mourinho knows very well, is that goals are scored from a range of players as opposed to one player.

United’s greatest criticism last season was that they were far too reliant on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score their goals.

In the league, Mourinho’s side was outscored by Bournemouth, a fact that successfully demonstrates the trouble that United had while scoring goals.

The presence of a winger who can score 11 league goals would enhance the chances of United’s title success.

Stat 2: Contributed to 19 league goals

In addition to scoring 11 goals, Perisic provided a reputable total of eight assists.

To have a winger at your disposal who can participate in 19 league goals would be of tremendous benefit to any team in the Premier League, in one of the most tactical leagues in football, Perisic has demonstrated his ability to produce and finish opportunities.

A player who can create and score goals from a wide position would be an excellent addition to most PL outfits.

Stat 3: Averaged 1.3 tackles and one interception per game

Historically, Jose Mourinho is a very demanding manager, especially to his wingers.

In addition to completing their attacking responsibilities, he is eager for his players to track back and defend when required.

Seemingly, Ivan Perisic is his perfect fit.

The 28-year-old averaged 1.3 tackles and one interception per Serie A game last season, displaying important work-ethic and superb industry to fight for his team.

A player of this mould would fit effortlessly into Mourinho’s team.
