The three free agents Ed Woodward could bring in to Manchester United this summer
United Chief Executive Ed Woodward will be under pressure from United fans throughout the January window.
The three free agents Ed Woodward could bring in to Manchester United this summer, according to the Express.
With Ed Woodward under increasing pressure to bring in quality signings to improve the struggling Man United team, the Chief Executive could be forced to look for free transfers.
Despite criticism from United fans, there is no doubt that Woodward has splashed the cash in recent windows, but the problems on the pitch are still there.
The express highlighted three players that could join the club on a free transfer.
Dries Mertens
The Belgium striker has been a consistent performer for Serie A side Napoli and can play out wide or down the middle.
Premier League and Champions League final spot rivals Chelsea are also reported to be interested in the 32-year-old and no doubt other clubs will stake their claim.
However, it could be a major coup for United as Mertens has scored goals at the highest level for a number of years.
Edison Cavani
Lots of speculation surrounded Cavani during the January window, with Paris Saint-Germain looking to offload the striker to gain a fee.
A move didn’t materialise for the Uruguayan and he is now set to leave on a free transfer this summer.
At the moment Atletico Madrid looks like a likely destination, but that is not a done deal.
Luka Modric
The least likely transfer of the three.
But with the potential sale of Paul Pogba to Real Madrid, anything could happen during the summer window!
Modric is considered to be the best midfield player in the world and won the Ballon D’Or award back in 2018.
The four-time Champions League winner would be an incredible addition for any team in Europe.
