5 alternatives to Gareth Bale for Manchester United

Real Madrid v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Final
Bale - scored two goals as Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the UCL final

#3 Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)

Portugal v Algeria - International Friendly
Mahrez could be exactly what United need

The Algerian magician has made quite a name for himself since helping Leicester City win the Premier League in 2015, and since then he has been linked with a move away from the Foxes.

This season he continued to perform for Leicester City and this season he scored 13 goals and contributed 13 assists.

Though he has been constantly linked with United's arch-rivals Manchester City, if the Red Devils manage to sign him it will be a big blow to the Cityzens just as they snapped up Alexis Sanchez.

The former Le Havre winger could exactly be what United need, as he can add stability to United's right wing with his agility and craft. He is a creative player as well, which means he can also provide Romelu Lukaku with plenty of service.

Also, he is less injury prone compared to Gareth Bale.
