2. To Give The Fans Something To Celebrate
It seems currently that United fans would rather their club wasn’t linked with so many top players that they couldn’t attract as it makes their club look like a failure in the transfer market, and it is true, after settling for Shinji Kagawa last season after links with Luka Modric, Claudio Marchisio and Eden Hazard, the same happened this season, as they stated their interest in Cesc Fabregas, Arturo Vidal, Alex Song and Ander Herrera, but ended up with Marouane Fellaini. Should United be able to pull off a signing of the calibre of Fabregas, it may offer the fans a little bit of a distraction to their current league position and failure on the pitch, while it also may restore some faith in David Moyes.
