Manchester United looking to reignite interest in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yoann-Gourcuff-c37416
It has been reported that Manchester United’s manager Alex Ferguson has reignited his interest in Lyon and French midfielder Yoann Gourcuff. The prolific midfielder had been a long term target for the United boss and was rumored to be on his way to Old Trafford
prior to joining Lyon. The manager had been monitoring the player’s progress and development over the course of the last few seasons and seems to finally have decided to make a move for the player. This is because ever since Gourcuff joined Lyon, the player
has not seemed to be performing at his best, in fact he has often looked to be rather frustrated when taking to the field with Lyon.
As a result Ferguson is hoping to try and secure the services of the player, before another team tries to swoop in and make the kill. However, at the same time, the manager has made it clear that if they are to move in for the player, they will wait till
the end of the season to launch a substantial bid for the player.
The highly gifted and talented midfielder is a mixture of a box to box midfielder and a creative playmaker, who can operate in the centre of the pitch, on the sides or behind the striker. This unique ability that the player possesses makes him the almost
perfect replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 who is bound to be on his way out of the team sooner or later.
One of the main reasons for Ferguson wanting to make a move for the talented twenty four year old, is because the manager is looking to build the team for the future. United are currently facing a slight problem in the form that some of the team’s top performers
are going to be calling it quits shortly and there seem to be no immediate replacements for those players in the United ranks, at the moment.
The French midfielder is bound to cost United around twenty to twenty four million pounds, but the fact that the owners of the team have offered the team a good amount to spend in the summers, means the signing of Gourcuff has been made all the more likely.
