da poker： With Manchester United going well in the Premier League as well as having a relatively safe passage through to the Champions League quarter finals, only a small amount of tinkering needs to be done at Manchester United this January. However, that small bit of tinkering could be very effective. This January, it is time for Manchester United to enter the transfer market and purchase Steven Defour. Manchester United are still fairly light in the central midfield department and Defour will offer more creativity than Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher, and would not shy away from the combative role needed in the Premier League.
da fezbet： Sir Alex Ferguson is an admirer of Steven Defour, after breaking his leg last year, Sir Alex sent him a letter of encouragement, something the player hasn’t forgotten. This mirrors what the United boss did for Ruud Van Nistelrooy when his Manchester United dream seemed to have been destroyed by injury. Sir Alex Ferguson knows that Defour is one of the most exciting prospects in Europe and we will have to act quickly if he is to secure the services of the Belgian international. It is not for nothing that Defour has drawn comparisons with World Cup winner Cesc Fabregas. Like the Spaniard, Defour has exceptional vision and manages to combine creativity with an excellent work-rate. He is not only a playmaker, but also a bit of a ball-winner.
Steven Defour has to be considered a realistic target this January, and Manchester United should step up the chase for the Belgian. It is clear that Manchester United need to strengthen in the centre of midfield and although Anderson has come on leaps and bounds in the last month or so, Defour would compliment his boundless energy. The signing of a creative talent like Defour would allow Manchester United to rest Paul Scholes in ‘lesser’ games without losing too much of a creative threat. Manchester United need Paul Scholes in the big games this season, his age will start to creep up on him towards the back end of the season, so some much earned rest could benefit United’s domestic and European charge.
If Manchester United are looking for a talented, creative, energetic spark in the centre of midfield, Defour has to be their man. If they do not make their move somebody else will, and it will be one of the top clubs in Europe. Defour offers Manchester United some superb options, something the midfield has lacked at times this season. However, Defour could well be another option. Like Scholes, he displays a similar creative ability to make things happen and combines this raw talent with tenacity. Without a doubt, Defour would be a massive hit at Old Trafford.
