#3 Jerome Boateng (Bayern Munich to Manchester United)
Manchester United could not help but watch their city rivals Manchester City lift the Premier League title last season. Despite their decent start to the campaign, the Red Devils failed to put up a great challenge for Pep Guardiola's men as they finished second on the Premier League table.
Therefore the Old Trafford giants are currently in the transfer market looking at reinforcement options as they prepare to dominate the English top flight next season.
Jose Mourinho is reportedly not satisfied with the performances of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, with the manager looking forward to signing a top defender to partner with Eric Baily at the heart of the defense.
The Portuguese has prioritized the recruitment of Bayern Munich superstar Jerome Boateng to strengthen his back-line ahead of the next campaign.
Boateng has been one of the finest defenders in the world for quite some time, winning the UEFA Champions League, the Bundesliga, the DFB Pokal as well as other trophies with the Bavarians.
The Germany International has reportedly informed Bayern of his intentions to quit the Allianz Arena, with ESPN recently hinting at a possible switch to Old Trafford. The Red Devils will need to fork out up to £43 million to land their target.
