This could be the perfect midfield transfer for Manchester United
By Bence Bocsak
Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing this midfielder in the summer and he could be the perfect option for the Red Devils.
Often the Manchester United’s midfield has been Ole Gunnar Solskjaer‘s weak spot this season. Many teams in the Premier League have exploited the injury crisis at the club and the inferior players Solskjaer was forced to field.
The return of Scott McTominay and the arrival of Bruno Fernandes has certainly dissipated the club’s problems for now and United’s midfield has looked rejuvenated in recent weeks. Things will only improve when Paul Pogba is fit to feature as well.
However Ole Gunnar Solskjaer cannot afford to become complacent. He could incur another injury crisis at any moment.

With the pressure mounting and the club desperate to fight their way back to the top yet again, it is crucial Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gets the upcoming transfer window right.
The likes of Jesse Lingard, Andreas Pereira and Nemanja Matic are clearly not good enough to represent the Red Devils colours anymore.
The club must get rid of the above mentioned names and replace them with younger and more suitable options.
The latest target who has been linked with the Red Devils could the perfect option.
According to Sky Sports Germany via Sports Mole, United are interested in signing Borussia Mochengladbach and Swiss international midfielder, Denis Zakaria.
Zakaria is one the most underrated midfielders in Europe at the moment. The Swiss midfielder has been one of the top performers in the Bundesliga over the last couple of seasons.
At 23 he is still young and has plenty of time to develop.
Even better he is perfectly suited to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s style of play. His physicality makes him an ideal fit for the Premier League, meanwhile his combative nature and tough tackling ability is what the Red Devils have often lacked this season.
He could be the perfect replacement for Nemanja Matic who’s legs have clearly aged over the years and who can no longer keep up with the pace of the Premier League.
Conversely, Denis Zakaria is extremely rapid which enables him to breakdown attacks with ease.
For the purported £43 million it would be a major coup by Solskjaer.
