Emiliano Buendia has been a mainstay in Norwich City’s climb to the Premier League, playing a pivotal role in midfield to drag the Canaries back to the big time, but given their current status as relegation battlers, would he be willing to make a Manchester United switch to preserve his own top flight status?

Responding to a tweet from United Xtra, Red Devils supporters were encouraged to discuss the 23-year-old star and come to a conclusion as to why they would have him at Old Trafford – with the majority of supporters hoping he eventually makes the switch given his obvious quality.
Buendia, who scored eight goals and assisted 12 others last season in Norwich’s promotion bid, has been on his way to competing with those numbers this campaign – bagging seven assists already this season. He was previously linked with a move to Liverpool, who have proven that picking up players from relegated sides (which the Canaries could be this summer) can help improve a team at the top level, with the likes of Andrew Robertson, Gini Wijnaldum and Xherdan Shaqiri.
As per WhoScored, the Argentine has made more key passes per game (3) than anyone in the United squad, while his 3.2 dribbles far outmatch any of their players too.
As a result, United supporters are keen to see the Argentine sign for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side – here’s what they had to say.
been better than Maddison even in a struggling team. But unfortunately he isn’t English 😭 pic.twitter.com/5TcgCa8jcr

Good, aggressive midfielder only 23 wouldn’t cost too much him and Fred would work well together reminds me of Herrera

I would take that guy. KDB is the only player with most chances created ahead of this guy

Underrated. Very tidy and creative player. Would definitely improve the squad and could be just what we need in January. pic.twitter.com/XkjE33DBRc

Baller. Maddison, grealish and buendia. Need one or two of them at our Gaff. And if we’re on the look for a number 9, absolutely love Raul Jiminez.
