Man Utd eye shock January deal for Chelsea and Arsenal legend to resolve injury crisis
MANCHESTER UNITED could make a surprise January move for Ashley Cole, according to reports.
Ashley Cole in action for Serie A side Roma
United boss Louis van Gaal is currently experiencing an injury crisis at left-back after losing Ashley Young for up to two months with a serious groin problem.
Young will go under the knife in a bid to speed up his recovery, but joins Luke Shaw on the sidelines - who broke his leg in two places in United's Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven in September.
Cole is currently a free agent after terminating his contract with Serie A side Roma this week.
