Players David Moyes Should Buy

Hey my procrastinator fans today we are going to be looking at the players that David Moyes should sign this January for Manchester Utd. After yesterday's defeat to Sunderland, it is obvious that something needs to change at Old Trafford and who knows, maybe that "something" will be a player from our list.

Let's get into it :

#10 Leighton Baines
 The Everton full-back is a superb player who has outstanding creativity for a left-back. As we know Man Utd do not have the greatest back line and with a player like Baines who can be utilised as a winger at times would just give them that extra bit of diversity they need in their team. Baines has been linked with a move to the Red Devils since Moyes to over and perhaps now could be the time to sign him.

#9 Ronaldinho
I recently seen a lot of rumours surrounding Ronaldinho mostly suggesting that he could move to the EPL. Obviously "Ronnie" is not the player he was in 2005 but my goodness can the man play football. If you have watched any of his games in Brazil you will see that he still has that little bit of magic despite having lost his pace. The 33-year old has been linked with a move to Bestiktas but I think he would be the perfect but for Man Utd.

#8 Ross Barkley
Another Everton lad, Barkley has impressed everyone this season and he has a very good relationship with David Moyes. The youngster may have a lot to learn but what I like is his drive and determination, something that I do not see in Man Utd's midfield. One rumour suggested the fee would cost United £30 million which is just ludicrous. A good player but the price has been blown way out of proportion.


#7 Virgil Van Dijk
I am not sure how many of you watch Scottish football but Van Dijk has outshown every payer this season. The Celtic centre-back has an incredible calmness even when under pressure and the number of mistakes he has made this season could be counted on one hand. Despite Scotland having a poor reputation for football we have seen phenomenal players such as Wanyama and Hooper move to the EPL and perform magnificently. Another thing Van Dijk has in his locker his to make runs forward, sometimes becoming like a midfield player which United could use.

#6 Juan Mata
Ahhh...Mata. Who hasn't been linked to? Mata is just a beast when he is playing well and can drive a full team. Again he something different which would be good for Man Utd and it is almost certain that he will be leaving Chelsea whether it be January or the Summer. With Liverpool and Arsenal both in the running for his signature it could be a tough purchase but one well worth it.

#5  Arturo Vidal
What a boss! I mean seriously this man just commands the pitch for Juventus game after game and is a huge factor to their success this season. Vidal has tremendous passing ability but it is his creativity that would be of value to United. He creates chances on a weekly basis. United have been rumoured with bids on Vidal before but nothing has been successful, could this be the time to get him?

#4 Marco Veratti
The PSG midfielder is an incredible player. Only problem is I don't think PSG will sell him, but if United managed to get their hands on the Italian then I imagine he would shine a light on Old Trafford.

#3 Marco Rues
Rues has been linked with Man United for a while now and I can see why. He has brilliant running power and is technically very gifted. The 24 year old German has been in great form of late with Borussia Dortmund was ranked Europe's fourth best player in 2013 by Bloomberg. His signature might be pricey but I'm sure Moyes has a tidy transfer kitty.

#2 Xavi
While writing this article I came across a rumour that Xavi hinted towards leaving Barcelona. Whether on not this is true I am unsure but once the hint was made he was immiediatley rumoured with a move to United. I can't see this hapening because I think Xavi will see out the rest of his day in sunny Barcelona but if it did then I don't even need to explain why this would be incredible for United.

#1 Luis Suarez
Remember when I started this list? It was all players who there is a real chance that United might sign but somewhere along the way I just started putting in players in all honesty, they won't sign. Luis Suarez has only recently extended his contract with Liverpool so I don't think he plans on moving but he i probably one of the only players that would land United in a decent finish.

Well there you have it. The top ten players Moyes should sign. Some are likely some are not but all would be good additions to United's team. Remember follow us on Twitter @Footyweekly10s. Leave your comments on who you think United should sign. Peace!
