Manchester United have finally beefed up their defence. The likes of Diogo Dalot and Lisandro Martinez have been significant contributors to the beefed-up backline.
However, going forward, the Red Devils lack consistency and sharpness.
United’s threat in the final third is somewhat muted.
Mexican striker Piojo Alvarado could give United the edge they need (via Sport Witness).
He hopes the World Cup in November can ‘catapult him to Europe’.
According to Heraldo, Manchester United previously ‘had set their sights on him’.
Heraldo, who covered the player recently, also describes how Alvarado could be Mexico coach Tata Martino’s trump card in the World Cup.
Heraldo reports that the Chivas paymaster has become a “secret weapon” for Tricolor under Martino’s tutelage. Alvarado’s versatility is an asset and an attribute that could help secure his move to Europe.
The Mexican star has been on the brink of moving to England, going through trials with Leicester City and Manchester City. Manchester United also liked the attacker.
However, nothing happened and the attacker remained in Mexico. He won the Liga MX title with Cruz Azul, an Olympic bronze medal and the opportunity to represent Mexico in this World Cup.
Some sources have dubbed the star the Tricolor’s ‘most influential player’. The Qatar tournament could serve as a springboard to help Alvarado ’emigrate to Europe’ and play at the highest level.
At twenty-three years of age, the young man already has 300 games in the Mexican first division. He has also won several titles at club and international level.
The Mexican attacker is central to the Mexican attack, and if he continues his impressive World Cup displays, the Red Devils could knock on the door.
The world is watching, and probably United too.
