DBasia.news – Danny Murphy, former Liverpool who is now an observer of English football, thinks that Manchester United needs a new midfielder supply after losing 0-2 to PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) in the Champions League. The two names he suggested were: Harry Winks and Declan Rice.
In that match, Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera, and Paul Pogba, lost the fight for the ball in the center line from PSG midfielders, namely Marquinhos and Marco Verratti. According to Murphy, the Red Devils needs to regenerate their second line by trying to bring Rice and Winks.
“Right now, they are using Matic and Ander Herrera together to give Pogba freedom in 4-3-3 tactics, but they are not as good as the Verratti-Marquinhos pair at PSG,” Murphy said, as reported by the Mirror.
“The right players are hard to find. The next generation is quite promising and I will continue to monitor Harry Winks and Declan Rice. They both seem to have technical abilities and Winks has more experience in big matches.”
“Is Rice the future of Manchester United? He is physically strong and only 20 years old, so you can see later,” Murphy continued.
Rice plays as a defensive midfielder and can also be placed as a defender. Meanwhile Winks plays as a central midfielder and has a typical play as the Red Devils legend, Michael Carrick..
