Manchester United squad dynamics highlight Luis Diaz transfer decision
29.01.2022 - 10:15 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United's January transfer window has been quiet so far, with Ralf Rangnick seemingly getting to know his new squad before turning his attention to incomings from elsewhere.
The Red Devils appear unlikely to sign any players before the end of the month, despite speculation that United have been beaten to the signature of Luis Diaz by Liverpool.
The FC Porto talisman is on the verge of moving to Anfield according to reports, with some suggesting that United were also tracking his services ahead of potentially making a bid.
The MEN understands that such reports are wide of the mark and once assessing the make-up of Rangnick's current squad, it becomes clear as to why a deal for Diaz was not needed.
The Colombian attacker is very much in the mould of a wide forward who operates on the left of the field. From that side of the pitch, he's inclined to cut inside using his favoured right foot before attempting to score.
The 25-year-old does have some experience on the opposite flank but more often than not, he's a left-sided talent, which is a primary reason as to why his addition isn't required at Old Trafford.
For some time, United have been inclined to lean towards their left. Players such as Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial favour similar areas, with the latter recently moving to Sevilla on loan due to his struggles in Manchester.
In addition to those players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho joined the party in the summer. The duo possess undeniable quality but they also follow United's theme of players who want to occupy the same spaces to the left of the final third.
If Diaz was introduced to the dynamic, he would further highlight the tactical dilemma that United have inadvertently created.
