After a slow start to his reign at Manchester United, Louis Van Gaal seems to have finally got his players playing the way that he wants. Even though their six-game winning run was ended by Chelsea, the performance will certainly give them plenty of confidence for next season. From being outsiders looking in, the Red Devils seem to have established not only a way of playing, but also their status in top four once again.
However, if United are to challenge for the title next season, they will need to recruit smartly. Not only in the transfer market, but also in terms of bringing players back from their loan spell. While there is no doubt that the Red Devils need reinforcement in defense, the quality of attackers, they have out on loan means that Van Gaal will do well to look at bringing some of them back. Here are three players that the Dutchman should recall for next season. Not only to save on some cash in the transfer market, but also to replenish a squad that can still use some fresh legs.
Nani
Despite Ashley Young’s recent resurgence, the need for a new winger cannot be undermined. Given Antonio Valencia’s conversion into an auxillary right back, there aren’t too many wingers left in the side. And while there have been rumours linking Memphis Depay to Old Trafford, Van Gaal will do well to recall a winger who has done well during his loan spell. While he can be inconsistent and at times frustrating, there is no denying the stardust he adds to the attack. The Portuguese winger has the pace and the trickery to outfox any defender and his unpredictability might prove crucial in breaking down packed defenses.
Still only 28, Nani has a few years left in him and with the Red Devils in desperate need of a winger, he might prove to be the perfect cost-cutting solution that might be the difference between United finishing in the top three and challenging for the title.
