The Red Devils here in the Tavern are hoping that their side can bring in some attacking reinforcements to iron out their inconsistencies in the final third.
Manchester United have always been a club that’s able to attract rumours with the most outrageous of players over the years, with a host of top talent always touted for a move to Old Trafford, to carry on the club’s great tradition of housing the best player in the world.
But as has happened with the rumours that have proven to come to nothing in recent times, they’ve struggled to land any of the world’s best other than arguably Paul Pogba.
A mixture of losing the Sir Alex Ferguson factor, and the fact they haven’t even come close to winning a major honour in terms of Champions League or a Premier League title over the past 4 seasons may be to blame for this.
Of course, another rumour filtered through with Manchester United apparent favourites to land Juventus star Paulo Dybala for around £60 million in January, according to reports.
However, after being linked with one of the world’s best attackers, United fans here in the Tavern have chosen to mute their celebrations in the hope that history doesn’t repeat itself.
Nevertheless, with a transfer like this looking unlikely after seeing the likes of Barcelona lining-up a move for the Argentine. Here’s a look at TWO players the Red Devils should look to bring to Old Trafford instead.
Timo Werner
The 21-year-old sensation has been one of the talking points in German football in recent times, after displaying strokes of genius both in the Bundesliga and for his country.
A natural-born goalscorer who never struggles to find the back of the net after making it into double-figures already this season, to follow up his 21 goal and 7 assist campaign of last.
In a league that hosts some of the world’s meanest defences, it just goes to show the young starlet’s ability, with him undoubtedly being able to iron out any goal-scoring deficiencies in the United line-up.
Indeed, according to reports things look bright for the Manchester club after the RB Leipzig striker revealed it’s been a lifelong dream of his to play for Manchester United, and hopes one day he will.
Gareth Bale
The Real Madrid forward is arguably one of the world’s best attackers, and fits right under the same bracket as the likes of Paulo Dybala and Antoine Griezmann.
Indeed, Gareth Bale has already proven his European and domestic quality from his 3 Champions League winner medals, La Liga title and Premier League Player of the Year award during his time at Tottenham.
Therefore, on their search for that ‘game-changer’ they’re crying out for in the final-third, Gareth Bale can guarantee them both goals and assists in a league that he himself has already conquered.
Of course, United fans have all the reason to be excited after becoming odds-on to secure the services of the Welshman, according to reports.
United fans, thoughts?
