With all this talk of us needing to sign a midfielder to compliment Pogba and Matic, I was just wondering whether Andrea Pereira might be able to do a job there? Admittedly I haven’t seen him play that much since his loan to valencia (which has largely been spent out wide I believe? ) for those that have seen him play - would he suit that role or is he too forward thinking? Certainly strikes me as a player that can control a game, given a run of games and some confidence.

I’ve always thought he was wrong to go on loan as he would have played a lot this season with the problems we have in midfield. Something he does have is quality from dead balls and crossing and that would have helped go a long way this season, especially for Lukaku. I think he could play that midfield role well as I don’t think he quite has the pace to play on the wing and would be wasted out there. I remember in pre season he was quite tenacious in the tackle. I look forward to him coming back as I think he has a lot to offer next year.

I agree. I’ve always liked the look of him and it was a shame to see him go on loan, though I understand why he did it and it could work out for the best in the long run. If I remember rightly Jose didn’t want him to leave either so hopefully he’s in his plans for next year. I’d love to see him push for a starting spot next year, the boy is certainly talented and has something a little different from our other options in midfield.

I would buy asensio for the role.

Asensio would be a great signing - every time I see him play he excites me. Not sure Real would listen to offers though surely?
