Tottenham transfer news: Danny Murphy tells Manchester United to keep a close eye on Harry Winks

Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has told Manchester United to keep an eye on Declan Rice and Harry Winks ahead of the summer.

The Englishman was speaking after United’s loss in the Champions League and claimed they were missing something in the middle of the park.

The former Red claimed that United don’t have someone like Michael Carrick to control the game while speaking to the Daily Mail (h/t Metro):

“They don’t have anyone in midfield who can dictate the tempo as Michael Carrick used to. PSG did have that player: Marco Verratti.

“I’ve been a big fan of his for years and he showed what United are desperately crying out for.”

The former Red added that Paul Pogba could do that job but wanted to keep an eye on Rice and Winks.

“The right players aren’t easy to find. The next generation are showing promise and I’ll keep a close eye on Harry Winks and Declan Rice.

“They both look like they have the technical ability and Winks is getting useful experience in big games.”

Winks showing his best form this season

The Englishman has been incredible for Tottenham in recent weeks. The 23-year-old has played in 23 Premier League games this season and even scored the winner against Fulham a few weeks ago.

Winks might not be the biggest name in the side, but he is proving his worth in a season where most of our players have been injured.

Murphy is right in saying that Winks is someone to keep an eye on, and hopefully, he develops into the finished product under Mauricio Pochettino in the coming seasons.
