da apostaganha: Manchester United enter 2016-17 with a lot to look forward to after securing Jose Mourinho as their new manager.
da premier bet: Mourinho will need to begin his reign in Manchester with an active and productive pre-season.
United are currently in their longest drought without a Premier League title, which is three years, and Mourinho will need to find strikers who will bolster a struggling United front line.
So what better place to search for solutions than the European Championships? In particular Group C, headlined by Germany and Poland, who have several top players that could fit in nicely at Old Trafford under Mourinho.
Here are the FIVE Group C players Mourinho must consider signing…
Robert Lewandowski
Just imagine combining the Bundesliga and French Ligue 1 top scorers on the front lines in the Premier League. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is reportedly ready to join the club and Robert Lewandowski is reportedly considering making a transfer to the Premier League too.
Such a possibility may come to fruition after all.
If United can sign Lewandowski, the Red Devils would catapult themselves to being favourites to win the Premier League. Lewandowski is one of the most feared strikers in the world, and arguably the best in this summer’s Euros.
United need scoring prowess after registering only 49 goals in the 2015-16 season and it’s safe to assume Lewandowski and Ibrahimovic would boost that total.
Leroy Sané
The Shalke winger is a prized German product and expected to join a top club in the next couple years.
The 20-year-old could serve as a longterm staple in United’s attack, with his prime years way ahead of him.
Mario Götze
Götze’s goal in the 2014 World Cup final cemented him in world football glory.
Yet an unproductive campaign with Bayern Munich this season has led many to questions as to whether he will return to the German side for another season.
When healthy, Götze is one of the world’s top attackers. His clinical finishing would surely aide a United attack that struggled to score in 2015-16.
Toni Kroos
Kroos left Bayern Munich last year, but he is still among the top playmakers in the world. A clinical passer, Kroos orchestrates Germany’s well-oiled attack and is brilliant at set pieces.
United’s midfielders are ageing and slowing down. Implementing a marksman like Kroos would prove beneficial for Jose Mourinho.
Bartosz Kapustka
The 19-year-old Kapustka is more of a long-term project but another budding star that could help United for years to come.
The Polish midfielder is a fantastic passer in the attacking third.
