Coming into the campaign, many had felt that Manchester United had a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title. A couple of months on though and they find themselves sitting at sixth, and could struggle to finish even in the top four if things don’t improve drastically soon.
It is clear that Manchester United are capable of putting in much better performances than they have recently. It is easy to forget that they were top of the table early in the season.
But then, the Red Devils could do with a few additions to their squad in certain positions as well.
And there are a few top Premier League players that they should keep their eyes on moving forward.
3 Premier League stars Manchester United should target
Here are three Premier League stars that Manchester United should keep an eye on moving forward, in order to strengthen the squad in the future:
Declan Rice
Declan Rice has been one of the most highly regarded players in the Premier League for a while now.
Coming into the campaign, he was already considered as one of the best midfielders in the English top flight and had established himself in the England national team picture as well. It is safe to say that he has taken his game up a level since then.
West Ham United find themselves sitting at third in the Premier League table right now, level on points with Manchester City. And Rice is one of the biggest reasons behind their incredible form this season.
He has been linked with a move away from West Ham United for a while and if that was to happen, there would not be any lack of suitors. While Manchester United are believed to be interested, so are Chelsea and Manchester City. Thus, there could be a transfer race for Rice amongst some of the biggest clubs in England in the not too distant future.
