Manchester United are having one of their worst seasons, showing no idea in their game, however one of the ways to turn it around is an active January transfer window. David Moyes is said to receive a £200 million budget from the board to spend in order to improve the squad. One of the areas that must be improved is the Red Devils‘ midfield area, as Ryan Giggs’s great form is not everlasting and other players are simply not ready aswell as insufficient for the top European games. Ex-Manchester United hot prospect Paul Pogba will not return to the Old Trafford soon, nevertheless his 27-year-old teammate Claudio Marchisio might be signing for the Red Devils this month. The estimated £20m transfer price for the Italian midfielder is not a very big challenge for Man Utd, however is the player worth it? Here are the three reasons for Marchisio to sign for the English giants:
Marchisio is probably one of the most under-rated players in the Juventus squad. His balanced stats show how good he really is. He may not get many goals or assists, but he will make his contribution in his own way that is by contributing to defensive and with his accurate short passes. He is indeed a much upgrade to the likes of Anderson, Fellaini and Cleverly.

Without now 40-year-old Ryan Giggs, whose contract runs out this summer, United’s midfield lacks a mature player, who can both defend aswell as lead and build the attack. Neither Michael Carrick nor growing English star Tom Cleverley are likely to help the Red Devils out with these problems, however if Moyes managed to bring Marchisio, the transfer would clean up the midfield mess. After a flop, overpaid move of Marouane Fellaini in summer it is now time for the Scottish manager to turn up at Old Trafford with a player who would really bring some energy into United’s game.
The Bianconeri might be keen on offloading Marchisio, as the Italian is only one of a big list of midfielders at Juventus, as Arturo Vidal and ex-Manchester United prodigy Paul Pogba are considered as the starting midfield. If the rumours about the £20-million asking price for the Italian confirmed it would be a good deal for the Red Devils, who have also got other holes to fit in their squad. There have not been any official statements from any of the sides, however it is hard to believe David Moyes won’t reinforce his squad with some transfers this window.
