da bet7k： January can be a depressing month for all of us, but spare a thought for Manchester United fans, who have had to put up with the post-Christmas blues, being skint after buying presents and the cold weather, as well as their team playing some pretty uninspiring football.
da apostebet： Yep, watching the Red Devils over the course of the past few weeks has been a thankless task – aside from the win at Liverpool – with silly points dropped and more than a few ‘dull’ displays.
So, will there be anything to crack a smile onto the faces of the Old Trafford support for February? Well, possibly, as the transfer window remains wide open until the end of play on Monday, leaving the temptation to sign at least one top quality player in place.
With that in mind we put TEN names to followers of the Manchester giants and asked them to vote for the one they want before the deadline passes… and here are the results! The man who came out on top is a bit of a surprise, by the way!
5 – Bruno Martins Indi (Porto)
Having coached him in the Netherlands set-up, Van Gaal is known to be a fan of the burly Porto enforcer, which prompted suggestions that he’s a possible late target heading towards Monday’s transfer deadline. Martins Indi can play at either centre-back or left-back, which are two problem areas for the Red Devils, making him a solid, if unspectacular, option.
4 – Felipe Anderson (Lazio)
Linked with United for much of last summer and into January, it looked at one point as if a big money swoop was inevitable. However, the trail went a little cold a couple of weeks ago as Lazio dug in to keep their Brazilian attacking midfielder, but as the Red Devils showed heading to the last deadline with the capture of Anthony Martial, anything can happen!
3 – Edinson Cavani (PSG)
Perennially unhappy at Paris Saint-Germain, Cavani hasn’t yet left the French giants, despite links with an exit seemingly ever since his 2013 move from Napoli. United are one of many, many, MANY teams to have been aligned with the Uruguayan, who would certainly offer more movement than Wayne Rooney, and it seems many fans want him.
2 – James Rodriguez (Real Madrid)
A magical attacking midfielder capable of spectacular goals and slick passing, it’s a wonder he’s not in at No.1 on this list! LVG’s side have been linked with Rodriguez in recent weeks amid speculation that he’s growing unsettled at Real Madrid, and although a move before the looming deadline looks unlikely, who knows what will happen?
1 – Ricardo Rodriguez (Wolfsburg)
With injuries stacking up, left-back is a clear problem area for United, and it seems the fans want something done about it! Swiss defender Rodriguez came out, albeit narrowly, on top in our vote, and it’s easy to see why the fans view him as a good option. With pace, crossing ability and a set-piece prowess, the Wolfsburg man could even dislodge Luke Shaw long-term should he be lured to Old Trafford.
There were FIVE more names that proved unpopular with United fans, you can see them on the next slide…
The Rest…
6 – Alvaro Morata: Deadly in the box, but maybe a bit too raw to lead the line week in, week out at Old Trafford.
7 – Ever Banega: A good playmaker, yet he finished strangely low on this list even with United’s lack of spark.
8 – Ruben Neves: The teenager seems to lack experience. Perhaps one for next year.
9 – Marc-Andre ter Stegen: If David de Gea leaves this name could be more popular…
10 – Mattia Perin: See above!
