5 alternatives to Ivan Perisic for Manchester United

Real Madrid CF v Legia Warszawa - UEFA Champions League
Gareth Bale

#3 Keita Balde

Malaga CF v SS Lazio - Pre-Season Friendly
Keita Balde

A more left-field option in these wingers is Lazio forward Keita Balde, who has seriously impressed in the Serie A over the past few seasons. In 2016/17, the Senegalese international notched a whopping 16 goals and three assists, an impressive feat for anyone at the age of 22.

In fact, it’s surprising that he hasn’t moved already. Juventus, Inter Milan and a slew of other Italian clubs were queuing for his services but as of yet, there hasn’t been a breakthrough in terms of a deal.

Should Mourinho swoop in now, he could get a potential gem for a reasonable price. If he stays in Rome for another season, his price could skyrocket, along with his suitors across Europe in the event he repeats his excellent campaign.
