Ilkay Gundogan
At the top of the potential targets list, he must be there. A versatile young midfielder with a high engine and legs capable of running throughout the ninety minutes, Gundogan represents everything Manchester United have been missing since the departure of Park ji Sung.
Added to which, Gundogan is excellent going forward and is extremely capable from set-pieces. Earlier this season, Gundogan’s goal against Bayern Munich in the German Supercup was a testament to his ability. Playing behind the striker, Gundogan picked up the ball from the half-way line and ran through their midfield only to curl it into the goal from outside the box after fooling a defender.
Although, he has extended his contract with Dortmund, Ed Woodward should make every effort to bring him to Old Trafford. A player like him would be invaluable in today’s Premier League.
