“He’s not an Instagram footballer” – Joe Cole names highly-rated midfielder Manchester United should sign this summer

Former  Chelsea star midfielder Joe Cole has advised Manchester United that they should look to sign Aston Villa’s John McGinn this summer.

The 27-year-old has been in sensational form this season for the Hammers. He has been a huge influence on the team’s performance following their promotion to the Premier League in 2019.

Cole has backed Manchester United to move for the Scotland international rather than pursue long-term transfer target Declan Rice Rice and Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham.

“He’s an all-around midfielder. Forget what he does off the ball, on the ball he does everything.”

“More than anything, he’s an honest professional. You can see he’s a good person.”Speaking to BT Sport, Cole said in this regard:

“You look at that club, and you constantly hear noises about this player is unhappy because the manager said this. Or this player’s unhappy because he has been given time off here, and he didn’t want it and all this,”

“You just want lads like him (McGinn) through the door. First of all. they have to be good enough, and he’s certainly good enough as a footballer, but that is so valuable for a manager in the current climate.”

Cole continued: “You know you haven’t got to mollycoddle him; he’s going to come in and do his job. He’s not an Instagram footballer; he gets on with it, and does his job.”

McGinn has been liked with United in the past. Many at the club are said to be admirers of the midfielder for his tenacity and determination. His performances this season is going quite well and have not gone unnoticed.
