Sergio Ramos is a cut above Man Utd's defence – and that’s an issue
Sergio Ramos is world class but would he be the final piece in Man Utd’s defensive jigsaw? Adam Bate asks the question...
Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas did it at Chelsea last season. There are others convinced that Petr Cech could fulfil a similar role at Arsenal this summer. It’s that one signing in precisely the position it’s needed that immediately inspires confidence that a club’s fortunes will be drastically improved.
The situation at Manchester United is somewhat more muddled. First and foremost, the club is some way short of acquiring the services of Sergio Ramos and there remains the nagging suspicion that the dalliance will conclude in the defender signing a new contract at Real Madrid.
