Manchester United are very much on track to secure qualification for the Champions League for next season and it is a huge step for them considering the list of ambitious targets they have ahead of a squad rebuild in the summer.

He would be a solid signing for Man United with the ability to play in both full backs roles and also slot into midfield. While his defensive game needs work on, particularly against players with pace and good dribbling, Kadioglu has immense potential and has performed well enough to warrant a move to a bigger…..
