Perisic would be better suited for Manchester United than Coutin
Coutinho would be a fine addition to the United squad, but he would not solve the most important problem at Manchester United right now - a right winger.

The Brazilian has played down the right on a couple of occasions in his career, but it is not a role that suits his abilities. As such, it is safe to assume that if he does arrive at United, he would not be running down the right for the Red Devils. Even if Solskjaer does want to risk him on that role, it would be a waste of his qualities.
As such, Manchester United should refrain from investing in the Brazilian in the summer. They would be better advised to break the bank for a right-forward instead. It would bring stability to the team which would not be achieved by Coutinho's arrival.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
