Former Newcastle United and England striker Alan Shearer has accused Manchester United of being 'negligent' in their handling of the futures of both Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard.
We 'signed' Luis Diaz for Manchester United in January and he helped them win a trophy
28.01.2022 - 02:39 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Luis Diaz is being linked with a move to Manchester United as Ralf Rangnick looks to strengthen his squad before the transfer window slams shut.
The Colombian attacker is reportedly a target for a number of top clubs this month, and United are said to be just one of the 25-year-old's many admirers.
United were rumoured to be one of the teams that sent scouts to watch Diaz play last weekend amid growing speculation linking the Porto winger with a move to Old Trafford.
After the departure of Anthony Martial on loan to Sevilla and with Jesse Lingard's future still in the air, United could do worse than to bring in Diaz to strengthen their quality in attack.
So, if Diaz was to make the move to United in January, what sort of impact could he have on Ralf Rangnick's side?
Could the Colombian winger help United win a trophy?
We simulated the rest of the season with Diaz in the United squad and this is what happened.
To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2022 editor to arrange for Diaz to join United at the start of the January 2022 transfer window, using FM22 to run the simulation.
This is how Diaz's in-game profile looks on FM22.
The Colombian winger's key attributes are his dribbling (19), flair (19), first touch (18), technique (18), acceleration (17), agility (17) and pace (16).
These attributes make Diaz one of the most exciting wingers in Europe and a nightmare to defend against, with the 25-year-old having shown his finishing ability for Porto scoring 16 goals in 28 games in all competitions so far this season.
Let's take a look at how Diaz performed throughout the second half of the 2021/22 season after signing for United in January 2022.
