Man Utd Transfers: 5 Awesome Signings To Kill Off The Title Race

3. Ezequiel Garay

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQBP8LzpeZE Nemanja Vidic has been immense for the Red Devils since his arrival from Spartak Moscow in 2006, whilst Rio Ferdinand has also been a terrific servant for the club. However, the Serbian is 31 now, whilst the latter is 34, and they aren't quite the same force as they used to be. Manchester United therefore need a new centre-back, and have been linked with Benfica's Ezequiel Garay recently. According to reports, the 26-year old is viewed by Ferguson as the ideal replacement for Ferdinand, and United are close to signing the defender during the current transfer window. The likes of Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans have all suffered key injuries throughout the year €” as well as Vidic, of course, who missed most of last season. A new centre-back therefore should be one of Ferguson's priorities this month. Source(s): Bleacher Report
