Ricardo Pereira, 25, has taken no time at all to adapt to new surroundings at Leicester City after signing for £25m last summer. He proved a revelation at the King Power, under Claude Puel and now Brendan Rodgers - making 35 starts and asserting his quality as one of the league's best fullbacks while doing so.

An all-round defender with no real weaknesses, Pereira would prove a shrewd addition to United's right-hand side if signed this summer. He averaged 3.4 tackles, three clearances and 1.7 interceptions per game in England's top-flight - impressive stats for a player in their first campaign. Aside from his commendable defensive record, the Portuguese right-back has also excelled when given licence to maraud forward.

He netted two and created six assists this past season: while his playing style bears the closest resemblance to Wan-Bissaka, when compared to the aforementioned duo. Despite being four years older than the Palace man, United could secure his services for a considerably lower transfer fee than the English youngster.
