So, Manchester united have just won there 20th premier league title. Hats off to them,they were very consistent throughout the season and fully deserve it. Sir Alex Ferguson has managed to put a side to challenge for the title year after year in his career. This last side however was in no means his best, one of the reasons I find is that the current crop of defensive midfielders do not stand with those in the past. After the departure of Roy Keane United have failed to find the aggressive edge that he provided while doing his defensive duties perfectly. Both Michael carrick and Tom cleverly were very good in past season,but they were unable to break down opposition attacks. In this article we will look the top 5 signings which United could make to solve this problem.
Kevin Strootman
Currently playing in his home country Netherlands, Kevin Strootman will be the perfect fit for this role at United. He’s a tough tackling box-to-box midfielder who gets himself on the pitch very well, breaking up opposition attacks then distributing the ball to his team mates with speed and accuracy.
The Dutchman’s physique and strength will also prove to be very beneficial for United, considering the Premier League is one of the most physically demanding leagues in the world. Strootman is slowly becoming a regular in the Dutch international team, which can only help the youngster’s progress, he can become one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe if he goes into the right hands.
