Carlos Forbs: Why Man United see ex-City winger as perfect fit for their attack
Story updated
The story in brief
7-second readManchester United are reportedly interested in Club Brugge winger Carlos Forbs, who has impressed with three goals and eight assists in 12 games this season.
Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
As toothless as Manchester United’s attack has become, the fans will welcome attacking reinforcements in the winter window. Admittedly, this team desperately needs defensive additions, yet a dangerous attacker capable of making the difference would prove especially valuable.
Carlos Forbs could be that player. The former Manchester City academy graduate has emerged as one of Europe’s most in-form wingers. After spells at Ajax and Wolves following his failure to break through at the Etihad, Forbs has rediscovered his best form at Club Brugge.
With his electric pace and direct one-against-one threat, the 22-year-old is currently giving opposing left-backs sleepless nights. Indeed, his superb run of three goals and eight assists in 12 games has established him as a genuinely deadly winger.
