The Analysis

So Sir Alex continues to pick up some intelligent signings this summer and this latest one is really a bargain. The 20 year old can play in a number of positions across the midfield but most notably as an out and out winger, he’s got a good turn of pace for a relatively tall player and is on the verge of being called up to the senior French set-up.

Man United will still be hoping to sign some big names before the transfer window snaps shut and obviously have a lot of money to spend but this capture, along with those of Luis Antonio Valencia and Michael Owen. represent really good value for money and maybe are a sign of the way the club is going to invest in the future, which seems wise given the current financial climate.
