EPL: Dimitar Berbatov explains why Man Utd shouldn’t sign Coutinho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov, has offered reasons why the Man united shouldn’t sign midfielder, Philippe Coutinho, this summer’s transfer window from Barcelona.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coutinho has been linked in recent days to a move to Man United.<\/p>\n

Coutinho is currently on loan from Barcelona, until the end of the season at German Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich has already made it clear, that they will not sign on to a permanent contract, with the 27-year-old Brazilian until his loan ends at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

In 2018 Coutinho joined Barca from Liverpool for \u00a3142million.<\/p>\n

But Berbatov believes that signing Coutinho would be pointless for Man United, adding that they already have the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay.<\/p>\n

“Other people will see Coutinho being linked to a move to Man United, but honestly, he is not needed by the Red Devils right now,” Berbatov told Betfair.<\/p>\n

“Man United has Bruno Fernandes, who is a player very close to that. He has hit the running ground, and looks like a very promising signing so I don’t think Man United would have any point in signing him.<\/p>\n

“All the same, Pogba is coming back, Fernandes is there, McTominay is still delivering fantastic football and they’ve got enough quality there to make it futile to sign Coutinho.”<\/p>\n
