Manchester United’s coach David Moyes has been given £100 million to shop for players as they seek to turn around the club’s dwindling performance.
According to several media houses including Espn, Daily Mirror and Sky reports that the club’s management have made top four finish the target for Moyes and they’re willing to spend big in the transfer market to achieve it.
Quality left-back and central midfielders are top of Moyes shopping list and senior officials of the club are willing to support Moyes financially for him to get them. The officials are believed to have given Moyes their full support and do not intend to appoint a director of football to oversee transfer activity. They have said they would not be caught up in a shopping frenzy in this transfer window, stressing that quality players are not available.
“We would like to bring people in but are those players available?” Moyes asked after his United’s FA Cup defeat to Swansea on Sunday. “There is urgency but there’s no point in me hyping it up because the players we would like to bring in are probably not available in January.”
Several players have been linked to the English champions but these players would not be available till the summer transfer window. Some of the names include Ander Herrera of Athletic Club, Fredy Guarin of Inter Milan and , Koke of Atletico Madrid.
The future of senior players like Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra are still hanging in the balance. Both players would be out of contract with the club this summer. Captain Nemanja Vidic and Fabio too are free to hold talks with other clubs. The club would also initiate talks with agents of Wayne Rooney at the right time.
Now with so much money at his disposal, one only hopes that David Moyes’ signings will justify their wages.
