Man Utd Transfers: 5 Reasons Why Koke Should Have Been Moyes' Number One Target

3. His Age Means He Would Be A Very Good Long-Term Investment

As discussed, it€™s clear that if Man Utd wanted to consider a move for Koke then it would be a major investment. However, one reason that it€™s worth spending major money is because his age is more of a long-term investment than quick-fix solution, and that is certainly the case with Koke. The Spanish international is just 22 years old, compared with 28-year-old Rooney or 25-year-old Mata. So, if we assume the ability is more or less the same on all three players, then Koke would arguably be the best deal financially, even if he wanted more money in terms of salary that is in theory stretched over a longer period of time. In the know, expert pundits and well-advised fans take the view that the Man Utd team needs a complete rebuild if they are going to get themselves back in good shape. That means investing in quality, but arguably the best young quality to ensure that team can stay in place for a number of years, and the midfield is probably the area that needs the most attention.
