The Reds have warmly welcomed Takumi Minamino, hoping that
the Red Bull Salzberg star has what it takes to put the pieces in place which
will allow them to remain “addicted” to winning trophies. The Japan
international forward is set to join the ranks at Anfield on January 1, with a
£7.25 million ($10m) deal with Red Bull Salzburg having been wrapped up.
Although being placed next to star talents such as Mohamed
Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, Adam Lallana considers him a great
addition to the team claiming: "It's going to be more competition for
places again, which is hugely positive to have. The more you're competing, the
higher the level is in training. “It's fantastic news that we've made another
addition and I'm really looking forward to meeting him when we get back".
Unfortunately for Manchester United, the Red Devils missed
out on signing the Japanese talent. Ed Woodward, who leads Man United's
transfer is business is coming under immense pressure as he failed to make a
move signing Minamino. The Red Devils expected to pay huge money for the new
Liverpool signing and as such were slow to move for the Japan international.
Minamino was a highly desired player by the Red Devils and
had been tracking him ahead of the January window for some time now. He was
definitely on their shortlist of potential transfer targets, however, Liverpool
swooped in and paid the Japan international's £7.25 million ($9.6m) release
clause, with United under the impression he would cost far more.
Keen to move on from this blunder, United are hoping to
have two new signings that will be joining them following the turn of the year.
Ole Solskjaer is desperately trying to restore even half of the glory that
Manchester United had, hoping to bring new blood to give their game a fresh
kick.
Luckily, the Red Devils will not be letting go of Paul
Pogba anytime soon and for good reason. Danny Murphy,
ex-Liverpool star, discusses how "Paul Pogba has always been one of the
best midfielders in the
Premier League. His ability has always been unquestionable. He is technically
superb, he’s strong, he’s quick, he can score a goal and he can see a
pass".
Ole Gunnar Solskjær has denied Paul Pogba will be sold in
January, though Manchester United’s manager refused to offer details of the
ankle injury that has ruled out the midfielder since late September. Pogba’s
recovery has been hampered by a recent illness, Solskjær said this week, and the
future of a player who stated in the summer he wanted “a fresh challenge” has
again been the cause of speculation.
But with a
discussion-closing, no nonsense statement like "“He’s not getting sold in
January" by Solskjaer, fans can tell they're not ready to let go of Pogba
yet.
