Guillermo Varela
United’s injury crisis at the start of the season, forced them to convert wingers into wingbacks. Although Valencia has thrived at right back, he is put to better use further forward. But with Rafael’s injury record, that seems unlikely unless the Red Devils sign another right back. Nathaniel Clyne has been linked with a move to Manchester and while the Southampton full back, will not be a bad buy at all. If the 63-year-old doesn’t want to spend big on another full back, he should look at bringing back someone who is thriving in Madrid. Varela moved to Real Madrid’s B team, where he has enjoyed regular football this season and looks like a solid replacement for the future.
At just 23, the Uruguayan right back who was signed from Penarol has the potential to develop into a mainstay for the future. And given Van Gaal’s tendency to trust youth, don’t be surprised if he makes his way back to United and is fighting for a first-team berth.
