Aleksandar DragovicThe January transfer window is soon to close and most fans are hoping for a bit of last minute business. Manchester United fans, in particular, must be hoping that their club brings in another defender. After all, this has been the area where they’ve come up short all season (accept when their strikers haven’t been firing on all cylinders, of course).

Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a wealth of worthy talent out there. The good centre-backs are all much to expensive (look at the rumours regarding Mats Hummels’ price-tag, for instance) whilst most of the other options aren’t all that impressive (would Ron Vlaar really be an improvement on The Red Devils other options?

Luckily, Louis Van Gaal may have found a middle-ground. According to The Metro, he’s set his sights on signing Dinamo Kiev star, Aleksandar Dragovic. Could this Austrian ace be the answer to Manchester United’s prayers?

He certainly looks like a good fit for the Premier League. He’s physically tough, he’s good in the air and he’s not afraid to slam into tackles. Better still, he seems to make good decisions. He’s rarely caught out of position and he doesn’t make too many slip-ups. I can see him taking to English football like a duck to water.

Is it any wonder that The Red Devils are interested?

According to the aforementioned source, Manchester United are preparing a £14.9m bid for Dragovic (why not go the whole hog and offer £15m?). There’s also talk of a ‘lucrative contract’ for the Austrian defender. Things seem to be moving forward pretty quickly, don’t they?

This is good news for Manchester United. He may not be the signing that most fans were hoping for, but he looks like a good choice none the less.

Let’s just hope that Van Gaal is able to drag the deal over the line before it’s too late.

What’s your take? Would you like to see Aleksandar Dragovic in a Manchester United shirt?
