Man Utd Transfers: 5 Ball Playing Defensive Midfielders To Target

By James Kent /

5. Jose Canas

When Jose Canas signed for Swansea City this summer it seemed that the Welsh might have bagged themselves another bargain from Spanish football after Michu. Michael Laudrup is a clever man though because Canas is no clone of Michu €“ but that unglamorous midfielder that every Premier League needs these days. If you€™ll looking for me to tell you about how brilliant the player is going forward, then you€™re out of luck €“ since Canas has yet to provide a single goal or assist this season. But it€™s important to remember that€™s not his game with 0.1 key passes and 0.5 shots from each match. Swansea currently top the possession table with 59.6% in every game, and that is in no small part due to the contributions of this Spaniard. Canas has an incredible 91.3% passing accuracy that is bettered by very few players that have been used regularly this season; further contributions this season includes 2.1 tackles, 2.6 interceptions and 1.3 tackles in every game that he plays in. So, he has plenty of qualities that might encourage Moyes to make a bid.
