Ander Herrera
Athletic Bilbao’s Ander Herrera was the name on many people’s lips in the summer, with the Red Devils allegedly failing to match the £30.5m million buyout clause in his contract.
Herrera is very much a rough diamond, capable of moments of pure brilliance while also having a habit of going missing when it matters, most notably in the 2012 Europa League final.
The 24-year-old has himself admitted that even he doesn’t feel he can justify the price tag that the Basque club are asking for his services but if the Red Devils feel he is the man to fill the void, especially with him not being ineligible for the knockout stages of the Champions League, the former Real Zaragoza man might be on his way to Manchester.
