#1 Faouzi Ghoulam (Napoli)
Should Atletico Madrid demand a hefty fee for all the experience Lucas Hernandez has got at his age, United could turn to another cost-effective deal for a much-experienced player than the Frenchman.
Jose Mourinho was rumoured to be lining up a £40 million bid for Napoli left-back Faouzi Ghoulam this January. The Algerian is yet to feature for Carlo Ancelotti's side this season as he is nursing himself from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. He is projected to make a return in November.
The 27-year-old is also capable of playing as a midfielder and a winger on the left flank. His crossing abilities would help United in exploiting their opponents in the air; he is also good at taking set-pieces. He is well-adept at holding the ball and dishing out key passes.
Faouzi Ghoulam has been valued at £22.50 million and would definitely be the steal of the season if Mourinho and Woodward could strike a deal for him at that price.
