The transfer rumours just keep on growing at Manchester United, with talks of close to £100-150 million being available to spend in the next transfer window, a lot of talk has started taking place of which players are to come over to the Manchester club. United need to strengthen a lot of positions, while they can get away with it this season as they do not have midweek fixtures due to them being out of European competition, this all could change next season if they continue their current form which has seen them move up to third in the Premier League standing.
Manchester United have been keeping a tab on Kevin Strootman at AS Roma, he was touted to be Louis Van Gaal’s prime target before he got side-lined with an ACL injury which ruled him out for most of last season and the World Cup, while Strootman has recovered, he still needs to have a good run of games before anyone can assess just how well he has recovered from the injury. With the Dutchman still being tested at Roma, another midfielder has been linked as the alternative for Strootman to provide some steel in the Manchester United midfield, that player is Benfica’s Argentinian midfielder, Enzo Perez.
Here are 3 reasons why Perez would be a good signing for Manchester United.
1. Can cover multiple positions
Enzo has been one of Benfica’s best players in recent seasons and was an unsung hero during Argentina’s run to the World Cup final. He has loads of energy and is often seen running from one end of the field to the other; the 28 year old has an amazing engine and often plays in different positions in the field as he is extremely versatile.
The midfielder can cover the right back or left back slot while the full back goes on to attack, he has done this time and again for Argentina when Zabaleta went on his trademark marauding runs, he likes to cover positions but also give options to players who move out from their positions. Louis Van Gaal likes players who can play in multiple positions or at least can cover positions and Enzo is one such player who can do just that.
