With Manchester United’s midfielder Michael Carrick sidelined by injury for about a month, United’s coach David Moyes is considering making an emergency bid for Inter Milan’s midfielder Fredy Guarin.
Carrick’s injury comes as a big blow to the defending champions who have already crashed out of all domestic cup competitions and are out of the race for the League trophy as well.
Micheal Carrick sustained ankle ligament damage during their loss to Sunderland in the Capital One Cup match. This would force Moyes to make a move for a midfielder before the close of the transfer window.
According to The Telegraph, Carrick would be away for at least two weeks. Mourane Fellaini would be making his return to first team action after a wrist injury any time soon. He may not be fit enough to play against Cardiff next week however.
Manchester United have been heavily linked to several big names including Sporting Lisbon’s Williams Carvalho, Borussian Dortmund’s Illkay Gundogan, Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidaal of Juventus, and Marek Hamsik of Napoli. Sadly, all these names would not be available mid-season.
The Times reports that Fredy Guarin may be a more achievable target. With Chelsea also in hot pursuit for the same player, United would have to outbid their west London rivals. There are concerns that Inter Milan may also ask for Chicharito in return.
Juan Mata would be undergoing a medical today at Manchester before he would sign a four and half year deal with the club. The Spaniard would be at Old Trafford in Time to face Cardiff on Tuesday.
Would Fredy Guarin make a good buy for United as the transfer window is drawing to a close? Let’s wait and see.
