da realbet: Jose Mourinho will to bring in reinforcements to his new Manchester United squad’s this pre-season, and the most glaring area that needs improvement is the midfield.
da wazamba: Bastian Schweinsteiger isn’t the same player he once was, and Juan Mata’s future looks obscure after he fell out of favour with Mourinho at Chelsea – and the ‘Special One’ has reportedly looked at several top-notch midfielders to supplant the ones of old in Old Trafford.
Many of the world’s top midfielders are currently playing in the Euros, and Mourinho will be mad to not be tracking these FIVE midfielders closely this summer…
Paul Pogba
Pogba scored eight goals and made 12 assists for Juventus last season.
He has emerged as one of the best midfielders in the world, thanks to his clinical touch and impeccable footwork.
Jose Mourinho has shown extensive interest in Pogba and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he made a move to bring to the Frenchman back to Old Trafford this summer.
Joao Mario
A tremendous midfielder with excellent decision-making and clinical passing, Mario excelled this season with Sporting.
Manchester United need a young central midfielder who can keep pace and set up the attack, and Mario fits the bill perfectly.
Isco
Dug beneath a multitude of quality midfielders at Real Madrid, the talented Isco has yet to fully emerge from the crop and showcase his talents in La Liga.
The 24-year-old is a dangerous attacker who can help solve Manchester United’s offensive problems.
Dele Alli
One of the biggest breakthroughs in world football this season was Alli’s emergence.
He recorded 10 goals and nine assists as Tottenham finished third in the Premier League. The speedy Englishman could serve as a longterm staple in a United midfield that lacks explosiveness.
Kevin De Bruyne
De Bruyne made Chelsea regret their decision when they relinquished the Belgian midfielder a few years ago after his seven goals and nine assists headlined the Manchester City attack last term.
The Belgium international can create a scoring chance out of nothing, which is just the type of player United need if they’re to challenge for the title next term.
