3 midfielders Manchester United should look to sign in January

Yaya Toure

A proven Premier League midfielder whose Manchester City career looks to be over, could neighbours United launch an audacious bid for Yaya Toure?

There was talk of a move for the Ivorian international in the latter stages of the summer window, but no deal materialised.

However, with Toure seemingly not any closer to appearing for City and his contract up in the summer, many sides may look to sign him up on a pre-contract agreement in January.

United should be one of those sides, as the 33-year-old would bolster the midfield options at Old Trafford.

Although he can sometimes be ill-disciplined in the more defensive role, he can still do an effective job, and could even be used further forward if Paul Pogba’s form doesn’t improve.
