Ezequiel Garay – Benfica to Manchester United
The 26-year-old has found himself in demand this summer with both Manchester United and Chelsea sending scouts to watch him numerous times during the previous campaign.
However, it is United who are thought to be leading the charge to land his signature as new boss David Moyes looks set to follow up on the initial interest shown by predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson and bring him to Old Trafford.
It wasn’t long ago that Garay was at Real Madrid being lauded as the next defensive colossus who would take the world by storm. However, the fierce competition in the Spanish capital saw him shipped out back on loan to Racing Santander before joining Benfica.
Garay is quick, clever and comfortable with the ball at his feet bringing it out from defence. He is a key man for pressing whenever the side lose the ball, and is adept at making the right tackle at the right time.
Like a young Rio Ferdinand, Garay is quick, clever and comfortable with the ball at his feet bringing it out from defense. He is a key man for pressing whenever the side lose the ball and is adept at making the right tackle at the right time.
Moyes has been given the green light to press ahead with an official move for Garay as the Portuguese giants have lined up Lisandro Ezequiel Lopez from Argentinian club Arsenal de Sarandi, to replace him and will make their move once they have received the cash from United.
