Manchester United need world class players in the upcoming winter transfer window if they are to stand any chance of turning the season around and finish in top 4.
Many top players are lately linked with a move to Old Trafford but not many are better than the German star Marco Reus who might join Man United in January.
According to Daily Mail, €36m Playmaker is now closer to Man United because Dortmund are virtually out of the title race in the Bundesliga.
However, with United also out of the title race and Arsenal also interested in his services, Reus should find Arsenal as a better option.
Reus is one of Dortmund’s and Germany’s best players and a signing like him is exactly the kind of boost United and their fans need. Can Moyes somehow lure him, we shall see.
Arsenal on the other hand need a striker more than anyone else in the January transfer market and are linked with quite a few, such as Mitroglou, Lavezzi, Cavani but arguably the most hottest prospect linked is Atletico’s Diego Costa.
According to Metro, Arsenal are a step ahead of their rivals in signing the Spaniard who has a release clause of €38m in his contract as they have sent chief scout Steve Rowley to monitor him.
Costa has been scoring for fun since the departure of star striker Radamel Falcao to Monaco last summer and has earned the praise for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Surely the signing of currently the best player in the world Luis Suarez is highly unlikely as Liverpool’s stance will remain the same as it was in summer. However, Costa is by no means far off and has also scored 17 goals in the league in 16 apps. Suarez though has played 5 less.
With many quality attacking midfielders at disposal, Costa can do what Giroud is failing at, that is scoring lots and lots of goals much needed for Arsenal to end their trophy drought and to win the premier league title.
Again, like Reus, signing him is easier said than done mainly because both teams are alive in the Champions League. Will he be a gunner next month, only time will tell.

Diego Costa should come in as early as first week of January. Early signing would help a lot.
Wenger is very controversial. I would love to see him in Arsenal jersey.
Costa’s rate of scoring is a good one. He would indeed bring competition in the striking which would help as take home a trophy after all this long. I wish, Arsene could hurry for his signature. The beauty of foot ball would be embraced more at FLY EMIRATES Stadium.
He must be regrating not signing a real striker instead of a holding one who cant even visualise which side the two sticks no dissrespect though
Go for it gunners.
Diego Costa to arsenal….. not happening, his not a wenger kind of player. his more of a balotelli kind of player. Don’t see him coming to arsenal.
No disrespect but we won’t be signing Diego Costa in January. I doubt if we’re even gonna get a world class striker in winter.
Both Marco Reus and Diego Costa will be a perfect by for Arsenal. Having the 2 in the Gunner’s team is good as winning the league.
I’d take Reus at Arsenal. We could try him as the lone striker or out on the wing. I’m a huge fan of his and would love to see him in an Arsenal kit. Man U could use him in an attacking mid or out wide but I would hate to see him go there.
what makes you think Utd are out of the Championship?
Man u must have to pay the amount needed immediately for Reus to bring him in the first week of january before other teams interfer in the signing
