Who would have thought that after just 15 premier league games, the English champions Manchester United will be out of the title race being 13 points behind leaders.
Well, their manager David Moyes still thinks that they can turn the tables around but even the realistic target of maintaining Champions League football with a top 4 spot seems unlikely with 4th Manchester City no less than 7 points ahead with a more quality squad.
Still a few games left this year before Manchester United will have the chance to reinforce their squad next month.
One department they really need heavy investment and quality is that of midfield and according to latest reports Manchester United want to lure midfield players worth €51m in winter to solve their crisis.
They have failed to lure Wesley Sneijder on more than one occasion but once again Manchester United are looking to sign the former UEFA midfielder of the year who has a release clause of €15m in his contract.
On the other hand, Man United have been linked with a move to sign German international and Dortmund midfield star Ikay Gundogan. He has been injured this season yet United still want him. However, there is a major obstacle as perhaps Barcelona are also interested now.
Gundogan has a release clause of a massive €36m in his contract and despite his injury concerns, the quality midfielder is not going to come for cheap as he is a significant player for Dortmund.
The real problem is once again none other than David Moyes. He failed to sign top quality stars with all the time in summer and more importantly with United as Champions. How can he lure top stars now while his side is struggling in mid-table?
