EPL Shock Deal in Prospect: Kaka To Manchester United?

The latest news emerging from England is that of a prospective shock loan: Brazilian playmaker Ricardo Kaka could be heading to the English Premier League.

Reports in Spain suggest that Real Madrid are prepared to allow the former AC Milan man to make his way to England after fully recovering from an ankle injury that has seen him out of the game for some time now.

Current Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is also looking to bring Kaka to England, but it seems former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho will allow his old pal Sir Alex of Manchester United the opportunity to have Kaka.

Kaka is without a doubt amongst the top players in world football and, when totally fit and in form, a player who can demolish any defense.

The loan deal could be a major shock to many European power houses that will try to splash the cash in an attempt to lure Kaka. United, however, seem to be favourites.

The deal, which is still a bit sketchy at the moment, is said to be an initial loan deal with the prospect of a £50 million permanent deal.

With United leading the league towards the end of the year, the team still needs some kind of impetus going forward. Having a player with the quality of Kaka could be a heavenly gift. 

The idea of Kaka linking up with Giggs, Rooney and Berbatov is remarkable. The move could also be a sign that United and their bosses intend to keep moving forward, bringing quality players to the club and developing other players from the Academy to the first team.

With the league so close and margin for error so small, every team requires the best possible squad rather than a formidable lineup.

United have a work rate like no other, but in recent months a clear lack of quality with the exception of a few games has been evident.

Whether it be Kaka or any other player that Sir Alex sees fit, a need for some freshening up is required.
