Manchester United fans here in the Tavern are still yet to get over the disappointment of their European exit, as they now look to secure a Champions League spot for next season.
The Red Devils are having to settle for second place in the Premier League this campaign, as bitter rivals Manchester City close in on the title. However, United did manage to secure an all-important win against Liverpool in their last top-flight fixture, as a Marcus Rashford double sealed all three points at Old Trafford.
However, United are going to need to strengthen in the summer transfer window to push for the title next season, with their current squad struggling to challenge at the highest level. So, Jose Mourinho could take a closer look at a couple of players from teams currently battling relegation, as a bargain could be in the offing for a potential star.
Therefore, here’s a look at TWO relegation battlers that Manchester United should look to sign this summer…
Ryan Bertrand
Ryan Bertrand has established himself as one of the best defenders in English football, after another successful campaign with relegation contenders Southampton.
Indeed, the 28-year-old’s incredible domestic performances have rewarded him with a regular place in the England national team, after producing three assists for his club teammates from a left-back position.
Therefore, Manchester United should look to provide healthy competition for an ageing Ashley Young, by bringing fellow countryman Ryan Bertrand to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.
Mario Lemina
Mario Lemina has arguably been Southampton’s best player so far this season after producing a number of world-class performances, with one goal to show for his efforts in the middle of the park.
Indeed, the Gabon international offers an incredible amount of skill and a long-range passing ability that could come in handy for Manchester United, after struggling to find inroads at times this season.
Therefore, United should look to bring the midfielder to Old Trafford in the summer months, as one of the most impressive players in the top-flight so far this season and as a suitable replacement for the underperforming Paul Pogba.
