#3 John Terry is the answer
Trust me when I say you this: this is no joke, no satire. This is an actual assessment from TalkSPORT reporter Adrian Durham. According to him, the only way the Red Devils can improve their defence is by adding a free-agent.
So far, so good… so what?
The free agent that Durhman speaks of is none other than Chelsea’s former captain John Terry. According to Durham, the reason why the Red Devils should sign him is that he – a 37-year-old John Terry who just completed a season in the Championship – is better than most of the defenders that the Old Trafford outfit have in their ranks.
“All they can go with is free agents,” Durham said. “John Terry is exactly that.”
“John Terry would get into the Manchester United team ahead of Smalling, Jones, Rojo. I think he’d get in ahead of Lindelof.”
He then added that United are in a “crisis” and given how much Mourinho already knows about the Englishman from during their time in Chelsea, it only makes sense for the defender to join the Theatre of Dreams as Jose Mourinho has already given it a thought.
“So think this through. Think about the crisis Man United have got at the back. Think about how well Jose Mourinho knows John Terry. Think that one through.
“Free agent. It could happen. John Terry to Manchester United. You know what? If Jose Mourinho has thought about it, I can see that happening.”
