28-year-old full back Oscar Wendt would certainly be a very good option for Moyes to consider, although he obviously doesnt have youth on his side. The thing is that the Man Utd boss certainly needs a player that is ready to play as well as adding quality to the side, and thats certainly what he would be getting in Wendt. We are back in Germany with this one as the Swede plays his club football for Borussia M.Gladbach in the Bundesliga, for whom he has started 12 games so far this season, and by scoring three goals and assisting one he has certainly shown his attacking intent. Wendt average rating of 7.47 also marks him out as one of the leading left backs in European football just now. Wendt played his football in Sweden and Denmark before moving to Germany, so another international move would be unlikely to represent a daunting prospect for him, and Moyes will know that Scandinavians typically integrate and perform very well in the EPL. Its also worth pointing out that the transition from Germany to England should be a fairly simple one due to the similar style of play. The player has also been involved with the Swedish national set-up since 2007 and in that time has won 21 caps. Who do you think David Moyes should consider as a potential alternative to Leighton Baines? Share your own picks below in the comments thread.
