To Add Depth in Attacking Midfield
Shinji Kagawa, the name of Manchester United’s only orthodox attacking midfielder. Though he is often overlooked by David Moyes for the likes of Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney, arguably part of the problem this season for Manchester United. Gauld would bring in competition and depth for the 40 year-old and England striker. It is unlikely he would get much of a chance in the first team, as Nick Powell hasn’t been afforded much of a chance since joining United 2 years ago, but he could still offer an option in league cup games. Still incredibly inexperienced, the Scotland U21 international is still only 17 and has a lot to learn, but the likes of Barcelona, Juventus, Porto and Arsenal have had great success with young players after giving them a chance in the starting XI, maybe it’s time for United to give it a go.
