Top Five Players Manchester United Should Target To Fill Midfield Void

Posted by

Yohan Cabaye- Newcastle United

Cabaye has been one of Newcastle’s most important players since he signed for the club for £4.5 million two years. The midfielder had an excellent debut season for the Magpies, helping to guide them to fifth place in the Premier League, just one spot off of a place in the Champions League. He didn’t have such a great campaign for Newcastle last season but he is still greatly admired. He is regarded as one of the best passes in the Premier League and that is certainly something that has been missing at Old Trafford since Paul Scholes started to wane at the heart of the Red Devils midfield. The Frenchman could also be available for a transfer this summer following a difficult season for Newcastle, in which the club came very close to being relegated from the Premier League.

It appears that the Frenchman would also be interested in a move to Manchester United, as he recently stated that he would like the opportunity of playing for the Premier League Champions. United are thought to be considering making a bid for Cabaye, believed to be in the region of £15 million. However, the Red Devils will face plenty of competition for Cabaye, with French clubs Paris St Germain and AS Monaco thought to be interested in bringing the player back to France. Although the midfielder would be interested in a move back his own country, if United came calling it would difficult for him to resist the opportunity of replacing a player like Paul Scholes. Cabaye is a player who can unlock a defence with one killer pass and that is something that many pundits have said United need if they are to win the Premier League this season. With the interest from clubs in France, United may have to act quickly if they are to sign Cabaye, who could well be an excellent replacement for Scholes in midfield whilst also being affordable at the same time.
