Man Utd Transfers: 5 Alternatives To Leighton Baines Moyes Should Target In January
2. David Alaba (Bayern Munich)
Now back to the Bundesliga in Germany to discuss the potential option of Austrian defender David Alaba. The big problem here for Man Utd is the player is currently on the books of Bayern Munich and we know that the German giants are going to be very wary of letting a player go to a club that will be considered a Champions League rival. Alaba has been superb in Germany this season, so there is no reason why it isnt worth making a sneaky bid for him. The Austrian has an average rating of 7.57 so far this season as well as contributing a goal and three assists. If Moyes was able to pull this one off then he would certainly give Moyes options with the ability to play as a left back or even as a winger. Alaba would also be the type of signing that would make people sit up and take notice of Man Utd again this season. The player is an important part of the Austrian squad winning 30 caps since making his international bow in 2009.
