Steven Defour
David Moyes is to look to Belgium again as he seeks midfield reinforcements, reigniting Manchester United’s interest in Steven Defour.

United were frequently linked with the 25 year old whilst he was at Standard Liege, with Sir Alex Ferguson going as far as to send him a personal letter wishing him the best when he was ruled out of first team action with a broken leg.

Defour left Liege in 2011, joining Porto for €6m with United choosing not to challenge the Portuguese club, but it appears that Moyes will return to Defour as he looks to bolster his midfield.

Moyes himself attempted to add Defour to his side whilst at Everton having previously signed Marouane Fellaini from the side also known as the Red Devils, and could reunite the international team mates at Old Trafford.

Sporting Witness have highlighted a number of instances where United are said to have watched him and they will undoubtedly have had eyes on him tonight as Belgium lost 2-0 to Columbia, as well as in their tie with Japan in a few days.

Another interesting point that could be a factor in the transfer is Anderson. Porto are clearly interested in their former player and he has been touted as a makeweight in a number of United/Porto deals. Clearly out of favour at Old Trafford, could Moyes kill two birds with one stone and ship him out in favour of Defour?

    I Agree !

    We fans has witness these situation player injuried or out for 1 month. I know how sir alex deal with such situation. He player a top scorer(rooney) in central midfield. A midfield(carrick,fletcher) in central defences in a champion league. A winger(giggs) as central midfielder. These risk sir alex has done as coach and has sucessed with that. Hat off for him.

    So moyes a player like kagawa who shine in centre why don’t played him central midfield. He is young and has great eyes of game. He got technics,dribble abilities why you played a old player giggs rather than kagawa.

    Try moyes i also wanna see the duo kagawa,jones or kagawa,fellaini/cleversly in central midfield. Trust in talent.

    Moyes should knows what it takes to bring in a creative and quality Midfielder and not Andre Herrare type he does not possses the skills and creativity of what united needed, the like of Cabella,Defour, Sergi, Barkley and Fabregas period.

    moyes should have in mind that he has potential players that he need to give time for better performance not to sign old players

    moyes should try putting the playmaker kagawa in his prefered position because i know that he would perform well. He should try as much as possible to use nani in d right wing too as well because nani is a gud player in dat wing.kagawa should play 8 and nani should play 7. I am sure dat if kagawa and nani should be given more chance,they will perform very well. Lastly,moyes should try to sign good mildfielders who have the tenacy and the creativity to distribute passes.kagawa is a fan favoured player and should not be sold

  7. ak says:

    We we need a creative midfielder. Then wat kagawa is. He is a player that can be used as central midfielder to bring more creativity or support striker by playing behind them.

    And we got young loan gun as central midfielder who is shinning with wigan and help them in europa league.

    Nick powell and jesse lingard moyes should call them back in january and sent promising goalscorer will keane on loan.

    Moyes should not think of selling Nani, Zaha and Kagawa. Why is Moyes not playing Januzaj instead he is playing Giggs who is very old. Premiership clubs are now made of young energetic players who players like Giggs can not with his experience.
