MANCHESTER UNITED NEEDS WILFRIED ZAHA..!!
WILFRIED ZAHA CAN ADD DEPTH TO MANCHESTER UNITED SQUAD.
Why United would want to loan out such an effective player who is ready
to contribute in the Premier League immediately is anyone's guess. And
if he is, as you would assume, aware of Zaha's immense quality, he
certainly hasn't been watching United or their wingers.
Broadly speaking, United have
four true options for their wide positions, and none of them will give
much hope for the following season. First, there is Antonio Valencia,
a shadow of his former self throughout an almost entirely ineffectual
campaign, only slightly picking up in the handful of dead rubbers after
the title had been secured.Then there is Nani, whose every
bit of skill and goal seems to come at precisely the time when all
patience has been exhausted, prolonging a poor career at United long
past what it ought to have been. With his potential sale providing a
tempting chunk of funds to perhaps reinvest elsewhere, his time is
almost certainly up. Add to this Ashley Young, who had a mediocre debut campaign and a worse second one, and Ryan Giggs, who is approaching his 40th birthday, and the picture looks grim.
Even if United sign a
new midfield and take a step towards a more integrated approach, they
cannot risk another season with such a lack of productivity from their
wide players.Zaha, it would seem, is an
ideal player to address this problem. Whether the defence is open or
compact, pushed up or dropped deep, his pace and trickery can unlock it
and create space for others as doubling-up becomes a necessity.Zaha is unlikely to change the
way United play, but he can aid them simply by being a more viable
option than anything they have now. The individualism that has been
oddly sniffed at in recent weeks will not be a hindrance to his success
-- if anything, it's the reason that should keep him firmly in David Moyes' thoughts when he thinks of his most effective team.
