3 former Manchester United players who can help the club to dominate European football should they re-sign them

It is a well-known fact that all is not well at Manchester United. They are currently in the 6th position in the EPL table six points behind Arsenal. A breath of fresh air has been brought into the club after Jose Mourinho was sacked following the club's dismal defeat to arch-rivals Liverpool in the English Premier League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been appointed as the caretaker manager until the end of the season and the former Red Devil striker has responded by producing successive victories for the club. However, the team still needs a rehash as they lack the killer-punch in big games.

A major factor for Manchester United's downfall has been the lack of successful recruits after the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. Many talented players have come to Manchester United and failed to replicate the performances that they had produced in their previous clubs. Manchester United needs to start afresh and a good approach would be signing some of their former players who are in excellent form right now.

On that note, here are three former Manchester United players who can help the club to dominate the European football should they re-sign them.

#3 Wilfried Zaha

Manchester United have struggled to find a right-winger for the past few seasons. Although the names of Gareth Bale and Ivan Perisic have popped-up a few times, the Old Trafford club didn't look beyond the likes of Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Anthony Martial on the right flank. However, the club is in the process of rebuilding and a natural right winger needs to be signed.

Wilfried Zaha was one of the final signings of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. The Ivory Coast player showed a lot of promise which convinced the legendary manager to sign the youngster for the club. However, Zaha had to endure a disappointing season with United as he never got going. He went on loan to Crystal Palace before signing for them on a permanent basis in 2015.

Since then, Wilfried Zaha Has been the linchpin of Crystal Palace attack. The London-based club has even beaten Manchester City in their own backyard.

He was rumored to secure a transfer to a Champions League club in the previous transfer window but has stayed at the club. With Manchester United also requiring some pace at the front, Zaha would be a perfect option to fit that role.

#2 Angel Di Maria

Will Manchester United look to re-sign Di Maria?

Lack of creative players in the team has led to the failure of Manchester United to replicate the success of their predecessors. Hence, signing creative players would be a priority for Manchester United in the upcoming transfer window.

Angel Di Maria was signed by Louis van Gaal during his regime but the Argentine left the club for Paris Saint-Germain just one year after his arrival. The Argentinian just managed four goals in his Manchester United career which was considered as an under-achievement for a player of his calibre.

Di Maria has had a successful career at PSG so far and he has been in good form this season too. However, the arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe may have reduced the game time of the former Real Madrid player. He may soon be deemed surplus to requirements and may look for a move elsewhere.

On the other hand, Alexis Sanchez has found it difficult to settle at Old Trafford and may leave in the summer. A comeback for Di Maria could be a good option for Manchester United to consider.

He can offer plenty of assists and can forge a successful partnership with Paul Pogba.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

Is a return to Manchester United still possible?

Manchester United failed to produce a central figure in the team after the departure of Wayne Rooney. Although the team is now getting built around Paul Pogba, the team also needs another experienced player in the team.

Cristiano Ronaldo completed a record-move to Juventus from Real Madrid in 2018. He has set the Italian league on fire and may continue his exploits in the next season too. However, a dream return to Old Trafford would always be on his mind.

Manchester United have fallen short of goals this season and Romelu Lukaku has not been in the best of form. Ronaldo could fill up the void with his impressive form.

Most importantly, it would be a dream for every Manchester United fan to see their prodigy return back to the club. United's brand value has been severely hit in recent times and resigning Ronaldo would be the ideal solution.

However, it would be a difficult move considering the current circumstances. Nevertheless, Manchester United should try and sign Cristiano Ronaldo for the upcoming season.
