Reports from Tuesday’s Daily Mail have suggested that Manchester United could have won the race to sign Standard’s Liege’s Steven Defour. The Belgian international has long been on Manchester United’s radar, and with the large transfer kitty Sir Alex Ferguson has now to work with it seems Defour could be a Manchester United player as early as January.
Steven Defour has indicated that he is now ready to leave Standard Leige and with Sir Alex Ferguson sending the player a latter after his injury last season it seems Old Trafford is his likely destination.
‘I know that Manchester United are closely monitoring my situation. There hasn’t been any official contact yet though.
‘I’ve been sidelined for quite a while due to injury, but I’m playing at a high level again. The chance that I’ll leave the club is rather big if I continue to play like I currently do.” The Mail reported.
Could the signing of Defour be the start of the rebuilding work at Manchester United and begin to appease Wayne Rooney and his criticism for Manchester United’s ambition. Without a doubt Defour is a very talented young player. United need to strengthen in the centre of midfield – last season proved that. Anderson hasn’t fulfilled his potential at Old Trafford and Michael Carrick has looked lost in the games he has played this season. Will Owen Hargreaves ever play for Manchester United again? Added to this, Paul Scholes’ time at Manchester United is coming to an end, Sir Alex Ferguson needs to strengthen in this area.

Defour would offer Manchester United a lot. For starters he is young and ambitious. The midfielder is very good on the ball and looks to open defences up. United need positive ball players in the middle of midfield and Defour’s presence would be a great asset. As well as his ball skills, the Belgian is a decent tackler and competes well in midfield, and would suit the Premier League.
Defour would be a good signing for Manchester United, but do they have to look at buying players with proven pedigrees at this time. With so many key players leaving Old Trafford in the next 18 months, can Ferguson rely on players with good potential to fill the void. Obviously Manchester United will have to buy more than just Defour, but it would not be a bad start. Wayne Rooney’s comments have put the spotlight on Sir Alex Ferguson’s transfers. There is no doubt that United will buy big at some time, whether it is in January or the summer. That should not distract Manchester United from buying players with huge potentials like Defour. Manchester United should always be looking to unearth young talent from all over the world. Defour should be at the top of United’s list on potential and value.
