Manchester United showed the first signs of recovery in their 3-1 win over Swansea City prior to the international break, much to the delight of their army of supporters here in the Transfer Tavern.
The Red Devils’ faithful have been struggling to find things to be positive about this season but they ensured that several bottles of beer were drunk after their success at the Liberty Stadium.
United boss Jose Mourinho has come under fire for some bizarre team selections over the course of the season and is once again doing his best in the media to take any focus away from his side’s struggles.
With the January transfer window on the horizon, talk has already turned towards which players could depart United and which might arrive to hand Mourinho’s side a boost.
The Tavern’s landlord thinks that United might look to secure a genuinely world class left-winger during the next window, in order to ensure that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is constantly supplied with chances to score.
Tavern writer Lee Clarke takes a look at two left-wingers who United could go into the market for in the near future.
Felipe Anderson
Lazio’s Brazilian winger was heavily courted by Manchester United during Louis van Gaal’s time as manager and he could still be a target for the club.
Anderson has only hit the net once this season but is game is about much more than just goals, with assists and general creativity also part of his style.
One United fan here in the Tavern is happy for United to be linked with the 23-year-old, stating that his signing can only be a good thing for the future.
Dmitri Payet
Although he rarely sticks to a left-wing position at West Ham United, his move to the Hammers came about after a string of fine performances out on the left for Marseille.
The Frenchman won’t stick around at the London Stadium if West Ham’s struggles continue and a move away from the club looks to be on the cards sooner rather than later.
One of our United supporting punters thinks Payet would be a fantastic signing, stating that he wouldn’t need any time to adapt to life in the Premier League due to his time at West Ham.
West Ham United supporters, would you welcome these two left-wingers at the club? Which others should the club sign? Let us know in the comments below!!!
