Manchester United will splash cash on the transfer market as Fergie is looking to rejuvenate his squad. Rui Patricio, David de Gea, Varane? Which names have been listed?
It is clear that Alex Ferguson won’t keep money in his pocket during the summer transfer window. Already, the Red Devils had their eyes on goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. However, they dropped their chase of the German youngster with Bayern Munich proving too favourites to win the transfer hunt.
Eventually, Manchester United’s goalkeeping problem still hasn’t been solved. Edwin van der Sar is set to retire at the end of this season and Tomasz Kuszczak doesn’t appear as Ferguson’s choice for the Dutch’s replacement.
Transfer rumours had been linking the reigning English Premier League champions with a move for Atletico Madrid’s David de Gea. Lately, it’s been speculated that Manchester United will soon acquire their third Sporting Lisbon player after Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani.
Could Rui Patricio indeed be among the “ideas in mind” which Fergie talked about on Thursday? What about new midfielders? Two big transfer signings may be needed as Alex Ferguson explained according to The Sun:
“We have some ideas in mind. Hopefully, we can get them put in place. We have [Ryan] Giggs and [Paul] Scholes coming towards the end of their careers.
“[Gary] Neville has retired and [Edwin] Van der Sar is retiring, so there are holes we want to plug in terms of the security of the team for the next few years.
“I am looking at maybe 3 signings—which would boost our quality.”
Is Lens defender Varane, who can also play in midfield, part of these 3 signings? According to The Guardian, the 18-year-old player is on Manchester United’s transfer radar...
