My Speculation on Manchester United's Summer Transfer Window

With all the rumors of Falcao coming to United, I decided to do a quick piece on what I expect to happen at United this summer.  We already know they are getting Wilfried Zaha as a winger from Crystal Palace.  There are some credible sources linking Ezequial Garay to United.  I could see this as a possibility since we could use a central defender.  Lets face it.  Rio and Vidic aren't getting any younger and we have had times of defensive injury crises over the last two-three years.  So i think it makes sense that we sign a solid central defender.  However, I just don't buy the Falcao rumor.  We have 4 top class strikers in van Persie, Rooney, Welbeck, and Chicharito.  So why on earth would we bring in another striker and make one more just sit the bench?  The only reason I could see it is if Rooney or Chicharito are on their way out.  But I don't see that either because Rooney has been SAF's golden child over the years and Chicharito is an amazing super-sub.  Therefore, I predict we sign Zaha, Garay, and a central midfielder.  I think the central midfielder should be Luka Modric or Mario Gotze.  Gotze is a lot younger but Modric's box to box style is what we need more in central midfield.  We shall see.
