Man Utd fans snap up Ronaldo shirts at Old Trafford
Manchester United chief John Murtough could dip into the free agent market next summer to solve the club’s problems in midfield. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have been inconsistent so far this season. And while their squad is strong, it’s in the middle of the park where they’ve looked particularly vulnerable.

Marcelo Brozovic has been a vital asset for Inter Milan over the years, especially last season as they won the Serie A title.
Unlike Kessie, he’s a midfielder whose strength is more controlling the ball and giving it to the team’s offensive players.
But that’s no bad thing.
United have missed a controller of the ball ever since Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick’s retirements, with their current options simply not up to scratch in that department.
So Brozovic isn’t to be sniffed at, especially given his experience of playing at the highest level over in Italy.

Man Utd transfer shortlist: Denis Zakaria has sparkled for Borussia Monchengladbach (Image: GETTY)
Denis Zakaria
Denis Zakaria is another player who has been linked with United over the years.
Currently at Borussia Monchengladbach, his contract is winding down and there’s every chance he’ll be available for nothing at the end of the campaign.
He’s impressed in both a two-man and three-man midfield, meaning he’d be the perfect fit to go alongside Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes.
Zakaria is a strong tackler as well.
And he’s certainly a player capable of producing both style and solidarity, especially given how well he performed during Marco Rose’s time in charge.
