Manchester United looking to land Mario Goetze
Manchester United have been reported to be leading the pursuit to land Borussia Dortmund’s teenage midfield sensation, Mario Goetze. The player has looked highly impressive ever since he made his debut for the team and is now being
linked with a January move to Old Trafford.
In the past, the player has been compared to the likes of Michael Ballack and has been rather impressive, so far this season, with the current Bundesliga leaders. Thanks to Goetze’s sevices Dortmund are now currently eleven points
ahead of their nearest rivals in the Bundesliga.
Goetze has even gone ahead and made his first appearance for the German national team and as a result his value has escalated dramatically over the last couple of months. Alex Ferguson has been reported to be keeping a close tab
on the player for almost a year now, but it seems like the manager is now looking to make the move and finally land the player before someone else does.
The 18 year old has also been linked with moves to the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Barcelona, however at the current moment, the team that is leading the race is Manchester United.
The player currently has an eight million pound release clause in his contract and that is a fee, which almost any elite team in Europe can match.
United could also desperately use the likes of Goteze amongst their ranks for the reason that, the team’s current midfield is by no means world class. The likes of Anderson Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick are the three players
that currently make the team’s midfield and those are three names, that despite being as good as they are, still don’t compete to the best in the world at what they do.
On the other hand, United are scheduled to lose out on Paul Scholes as early as the end of the season and the team has no clear replacement in sight for the player.
Goteze could prove to be just the player that the team needs, he possesses tremendous passing ability and can also go down and make more than a decent tackle or two. Apart from that, the fact that he is still only eighteen means
that he could be a brilliant long term prospect for the team.
According to most experts, United shouldn’t hesitate and go in for the kill and land the player before someone else does.
