Manchester City and Man Utd are in the market to improve their midfield options
Despite the vastly different positions the two clubs are in and the varying levels of success they've enjoyed in recent years, Manchester United and Manchester City have somehow got the same problem going into the final days of the transfer window.
Now Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze and Wolves defensive-midfielder Matheus Nunes have been honed in on as targets. The injury to Kevin De Bruyne has stepped up the urgency for a signing in the area, but it wouldn't be a disaster for City if they failed to bring in a new body.
United were fortunate not to lose to Wolves, let alone win, were soundly beaten by Tottenham and had to come back from two goals down to defeat Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. Though a lot of the problems stem from a misfiring attack, the midfield has also come under heavy scrutiny. One player neither club has seemingly considered just yet is Fulham stalwart Joao Palhinha. In fact, the Portuguese has attracted a surprisingly minimal amount of transfer speculation considering how good he has proven himself to be. With Liverpool and Chelsea having also been in the market for a defensive midfielder all summer, Fulham must be counting their lucky stars that a team is yet to come knocking.
