5 Reasons Why Arturo Vidal Should Choose Liverpool Over Man United

5. Steven Gerrard

The signing of Vidal would allow the ageing legs of Steven Gerrard to adopt a deeper role in midfield, which is possibly his favoured position. The Chilean like to attack and has bags of stamina, whilst Gerrard has begun to slow down as the captain marvel reaches his football bonus years at the age of 34. It could be a midfield marriage made in Heaven. With Gerrard, Vidal could emulate the partnership he currently has with Andrea Pirlo at Juventus. Gerrard could easily adapt to the regista role, creating chances from deep and feeding both the forwards and the midfield from just in front of the defenders - he is already moving deeper, and aside from his well-publicised slip ups, he is well suited to that role now. That would allow Vidal to run around the park, challenging players and winning the ball before bombing forward and instantly becoming an attacking threat. Liverpool desperately need to retain the attack-minded football which they possessed whilst Suarez was at the club, and Vidal could make sure of that.
