Five Possible Summer Replacements for Manchester United to Cover up the Midfield Flaw – Part 1
The English Premier League giants, Manchester United, have enjoyed some absolutely scintillating seasons under the Premiership flag. This season, however, the Red Devils are a few inches away from reaping the championship seed they have sown. The English
side is in imperative need of two central midfielders since their current midfield options seem to be limited.
Speaking of the current contenders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 is now 35 years of age and a retirement letter might be on its way by the end of this season. Surely, replacing the aging custodian would be a wise decision. The rest of the midfield players, namely Michael
Carrick, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darron-Gibson-c10368 are not giving out any remarkably spectacular performances these days. These midfield players lack a much needed spark and a change must be brought, sooner rather than later.
We have nominated five brilliant replacements to fill in the midfield flaw. The selection is based upon their talents on the pitch and the superb ability to tackle the ball. Following is the list:
Nuri Şahin
Nuri Kazım Şahin is a Turkish professional football player born in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904. The 22-year-old player is positioned as a midfielder in the German Bundesliga outfit, Borussia Dortmund. Şahin joined Bundesliga at a mere age of 16, setting a record of being the
youngest player ever to have joined the German league. He also cemented his status as the youngest official to net a goal in the Bundesliga. This goal came against Nuremberg on 25th November, 2005.
In July 2007, Şahin moved on to play for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 on a one year loan contract. At Feyenoord, the young Turkish was reunited with his former Borussia Dortmund coach, Bert van Marwijk. After a year, Şahin returned back to Dortmund and became a regular at
the club.
In the 2009/2010 season, he played 33 out of 34 matches for the club and netted a total of four goals with eight assists. At the international level, he triumphed over the bronze ball award of the 2005 Under-17 World Cup, finishing at fourth position. Moreover,
the German-born Turkish is the youngest official to have scored for the Turkish national team.
Şahin’s technique of a clever game-play fits perfectly well in the English club, Manchester United. The young Turkish player is blessed with lightening speed, amazing vision and the ability to strike almost perfect free kicks. With a price tag of £15 million,
Sahin can be brought to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.
