One player that Manchester United should look to sign from each of the other Top 5 sides in the Premier League

Manchester United have gotten off to a fantastic start under new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with four wins in a row. Although they are yet to face a quality opponent, the feeling at Manchester United has been positive after a very long time.

Manchester United are currently at No.6 in the Premier League and are three and six points behind Arsenal and Chelsea respectively. With still 17 matches to go, Manchester United will have to aim a spot in the Champions League to consider this season a partial success.

However, the quality and style of football played by the Red Devils has been criticized and is said to be underwhelming when compared with their Top-6 rivals. This can also be tracked down to the lack of successful transfers in the past few seasons which has affected the system badly.

On that note, we have compiled a list of one player which Manchester United should look to aim in the other five sides sitting above them in the current Premier League table to become a force to reckon with in the upcoming Premier League season.

#1 Arsenal - Mesut Ozil

Manchester United lack a creative player in the team who can assist frequently. That has affected their goalscoring form and this needs to be resolved at the earliest.

Although Mesut Ozil was linked to Manchester United in the previous winter transfer window, his new contract with the Gunners last year laid the rumors to rest. The situation is almost similar now with Ozil in a bad phase and may look for a move elsewhere.

He is devoid of any international commitments right now and would be a suitable pick for the Old Trafford club. He can reunite with former gunner Alexis Sanchez and increase the number of goals.

However, Ozil has a number of suitors across the globe and he would be a difficult purchase.

#2 Chelsea - Willian

Manchester United must renew their interest in Willian

Manchester United have failed to field a genuine right-winger from the past few seasons. They have been using Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata in the right-flank but they would look for someone more experienced in that position.

Willian has been a terrific performer for Chelsea in the English Premier League and with his country - Brazil. He offers pace on the right-hand side and is a good finisher too. Willian is a good playmaker who would suit well to the squad at Manchester United. He is also a good option in set-pieces.

Given a chance to sign a Chelsea player, Manchester United should definitely go for the Brazilian. Manchester United has previously been linked with a move for Willian and they should try to make it happen in the future to give them a realistic chance of competing for trophies.

#3 Tottenham Hotspur - Toby Alderwereild

Manchester United are in desperate need for a center back

Toby Alderwereild had a disappointing season with Tottenham Hotspur in 2017 and he was set for a move in the previous transfer window. Though he was linked to multiple clubs, none of them materialized and the Belgian had to stay back at the club. Spurs have activated the option to extend Toby's contract but he has still got many suitors across Europe.

Manchester United are in the worst possible defensive crisis right now as most of their defenders are injured and few of them are not performing well. Hence, to become a world-class team, the Old Trafford club needs a few defensive reinforcements and Alderwereild will be a perfect addition to the club.

Alderwereild is a strong center-half and can also double up as a right back. His attacking instincts would be useful for the team too. United lack a towering presence in front of De Gea and Toby could fulfill that very easily.

#4 Manchester City - Kyle Walker

Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia are in the final stages of their Manchester United careers

Kyle Walker completed a record move from Tottenham Hotspur to Manchester City at the start of last season. He was successful in his first season at The Etihad as the club became the Premier League champions last year. Since then, the English full-back has become an integral part of Pep Guardiola's system at Manchester City.

Manchester United's Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia are in the final stages of their career at the club and the veterans could be looking for a move elsewhere. Diago Dalot and Luke Shaw are still young and hence, United need to prioritize a full-back in the upcoming transfer windows.

Kyle Walker is experienced in the Premier League and can play as a centre-back too. He is a home-grown player is involved in goals very often.

Such attributes make him as Manchester United's top target from their neighboring team.

#5 Liverpool - Roberto Firmino

Roberto Firmino would guarantee a lot of goals for Manchester United

Liverpool is in one of the best sides in the competition this year. Liverpool could be the win multiple trophies by the end of the season. A major reason for their success has been their attack and Roberto Firmino has been their unsung hero in their attacking system.

Along with Sadio Mane and Salah, Firmino has formed a potent attacking partnership which has resulted in a lot of goals for the club. The Brazilian is quick and finds spaces to attack very often. He will be a good addition to Liverpool's arch-rivals Manchester United too.

Firmino was linked with Manchester United during his time at Hoffenheim. However, the Brazilian picked Liverpool ahead of United and it has been a good decision so far.

Romelu Lukaku has so far mostly been a target-man at Manchester United and the club will start to expect more from their main striker. Firmino could be a good player to create chances and will suit well along with Rashford and Martial.

Although this move is highly difficult, Firmino would be the one man United will be aiming in Liverpool.
