Three January Signings Who Can Bring Manchester United Back On Track

Remy Cabella

Meanwhile, the Manchester United midfield has been lacking creativity, as with Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini occupying the 2 central midfield slots, United’s centre is packed with steel over flair, and it is that which is causing the goal-scoring problems Moyes’ men have been facing this season. Montpellier’s Remy Cabella should sort that problem out, although he is usually deployed as a classic no.10, he can also drop back and play as a deep-lying playmaker, something Fellaini and Carrick are both incapable of. The skillful Frenchman also holds a high price, in fact it will take £100m to prize him away, according to Montpellier boss Jean Fernandez.

Although it is highly unlikely United would pay that much for the France international, it is unlikely also that Montpellier would hold out for such a monumental fee, and would probably accept a bid in the region of £30m. Although this also seems a lot for a relatively unproven player, comparisons with the great Zinedine Zidane haven’t came around for nothing, as he continues to be one of the great hopes of the future of French football, along with Paul Pogba and Clement Grenier, who have also excelled at club level.

With little to no competition for his signature, it seems that United could finalise this transfer pretty quickly, though all it takes is for Paris Saint Germain or AS Monaco to get interested to make things tricky.
