82% Pass Accuracy – 3 Reasons Why Manchester United Should Sign This Liverpool Target Yevhen Konoplyanka

Recent reports are indicating that Manchester United are interested in the 24 year old Yevhen Konoplyanka from Dnipro. This £12 million man was also targeted by Liverpool but it now seems that Manchester United is in the pole position to secure the Ukrainian’s signature. However the question remains as to whether Manchester United really needs Yevhen Konoplyanka in their side or not. Here at Soccersouls we try to find out whether signing this Ukranian will be a good move for Manchester United or not.

1. A cheap option:

While most world class wingers will cost an arm and a leg the fact is that because Yevhen Konoplyanka plays for a club like Dnipro, he can be had for quite a cheap price. In fact it is believed that he can be bought from Dnipro for as little as £12 million. In world football that is as low as it gets for a quality winger and for £12 million it is definitely a gamble worth taking. With the money that Manchester United will save from this deal they can go all out in terms of money to replace the likes of Vidic, Ferdinand and the central midfield area.

2. A real talent: Yevhen Konoplyanka

Despite not being a household name , he is a really talented winger and the truth is that any team would be lucky to have him. Also he is still young and have ages to develop into an even better player at Manchester United. A really talented winger whose dribbling and getting past opposition defenders is well known, he can very well prove to be the new star at Manchester United. He is also a good passer of the ball with 82% Pass Accuracy last season. Also another plus is that his ability to score goals is excellent so that means that if Manchester United do get their man they will get the complete package in the Ukranian.

3. Manchester united really need a good player in the wings:

With Nani and Valencia the only real options for Manchester United on the wings the need for a good winger was always there at the Manchester club. In Yevhen Konoplyanka they have a player who has all the talent in the world and can make the position his own. Also add the fact that Manchester United do not need to break the bank for him and can strengthen other positions instead and this deal really looks good. With both Nani and Antonio Valencia having experienced an indifferent season this time around perhaps the time is indeed right to shake things a little bit and get the Ukranian at Old Trafford.

All in all we at Soccersouls feel that he will be a good player to bring at Old Trafford especially for the price Dnipro is asking for. While there is some concern regarding how soon he can settle in the Premier League and whether he needs to bulk up for the most physical league in the world, all in all we feel that Manchester United should go ahead with this deal and wrap it up as soon as possible.
