Former Manchester United scout Mick Brown recently revealed in an interview that United have started looking for a replacement for Eriksen to strengthen the team's midfield.
Mick Brown says that while Eriksen is a technically excellent passer of the ball, he is not the kind of all-round midfielder that Manchester United need. Eriksen has been honest on the field, but he is past his prime and United need to bring in a player who is more of a runner and able to support Maynu.
Mick Brown further pointed out that Ugarte, who joined United this summer, has a similar style to Casemiro, both preferring to stand in front of the defense. However, what United really need is an all-round midfielder who can provide stronger opposition and support in the midfield.
Manchester United's need in the midfield position has become more and more urgent. Everyone knows that United need to strengthen in this position, they themselves are well aware of this and are actively looking for suitable targets. With Eriksen likely to leave the team, United's reinforcement of the midfield has become even more important, and it is expected that they will accelerate their search for Eriksen's replacement.
Mick Brown's comments have certainly shed more light on Manchester United's reinforcement plans. United need a player who can fill the role of an all-round midfielder to strengthen the team in the midfield and against the run of play. With the possible departure of Eriksen, United will have to move quickly to find a suitable replacement to fill the void.
