Not Aurier – Man Utd Have to Sign €40million Star

Manchester United are in the market for a new right back and recent reports have linked them with Ivorian international Serge Aurier.
Two days back, we covered a report (via Mirror) claiming that the Red Devils have already agreed personal terms with the PSG star and are ready pay the asking price to sign him.
However, in my opinion, Mourinho does not need to sign someone who has got a very bad disciplinary record.

Aurier assaulted a police officer last year and because of that, he was not allowed to enter the UK to face Arsenal in the Champions League. In the past, he made bad comments about former PSG manager Blanc and was suspended.
Moreover, in 2015, he was banned for three CL games by UEFA after he abused the referee for sending Zlatan Ibrahimovic off against Chelsea.
There is no need to sign such a troublemaker. In such a scenario, Mourinho should look elsewhere and in my opinion, Man Utd have to agree the signing of Spanish international and Barcelona star Sergi Roberto.
Roberto is naturally a midfielder but Barcelona have mainly utilized him in the right back position. In the last campaign under Enrique, he was Barca’s first choice right back and played the role brilliantly.
In 32 league games, Roberto provided 6 assists. He only scored one goal last season and that was the decisive goal netted against Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League R16 tie.
Barca have an overcrowded midfield department with stars like Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta, Rafinha and Denis around. Moreover, they have Vidal in the RB position and have also lured a top right back in the form of Nelson Semedo this summer.
In such a scenario, a move to Old Trafford should be fruitful for Sergi. His current deal with the Catalan giants will expire in 2019 and it has a release clause of €40million (FCB).
