Scholes Advocates for Gundogan to Join Man Utd
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has thrown his weight behind a potential move for Ilkay Gundogan from Barcelona. The former England midfielder believes the German international would be a transformative signing for Erik ten Hag’s side, providing the midfield control and quality they desperately need.
Gundogan, who has been linked with a return to Manchester City this summer, has established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe. His ability to dictate the tempo of a game, combined with his passing range and defensive contributions, would make him a valuable asset for any team.
Scholes believes Gundogan’s qualities would perfectly complement the existing midfield options at Manchester United. The German midfielder’s presence could elevate the team’s overall level of play and improve their chances of challenging for major honors.
While a move for Gundogan may not be easy to finalize, given his contract situation with Barcelona, Scholes believes it is a transfer that Manchester United should actively pursue. The former United midfielder believes Gundogan could be the missing piece in the puzzle as the club aims to return to the pinnacle of English football.
“Gundogan. I know it’s not going to happen but I think he is the type of player Man United need,” Scholes told The Overlap alongside Jamie Carragher when speaking on midfielder Man United should sign.
” Zubimendi… or I’m going to say Gundogan. A controlling midfield player just to take the sting out of play. Gundogan is perfect for that.”
