7 players Manchester United can sign in January

#2 Leon Goretzka

Goretzka was brilliant for Germany in the FIFA Confederations Cup

The enigmatic German midfielder is exactly the kind of all-action, direct, footballer, that Jose Mourinho loves to have in his squad.

Tireless, fast, and with a tendency to pop up with a crucial goal or two, Goretzka seems destined to leave Schalke sooner rather than later, and with him refusing to sign a new contract, the German club may well decide to cash in on their biggest star before he walks away on a free next summer.

Considering this contract situation, United may actually get the brilliant German for around €25 million, he might well be the steal of the season.
