Some say that a club should never buy a player because of their performance at a World Cup, but what about the players that Manchester United were already interested in?
Denzel Dumfries, Enzo Fernandez and Cody Gakpo have all previously been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but moves never materialised. Now with the World Cup coming to a close and United in need of reinforcements in January, have their performances in the competition affected their opinions on these players?
Dumfries is a strange case. In many ways, he is a lot like former Chelsea wing-back Marcus Alonso in how he crashes into the box like a steam train and always finds himself in goalscoring positions.
