#1 Thiago Alcantara (Bayern Munich)
The creative fulcrum of Bayern and a long-time target for United, it is doubtful if the Spanish international will be willing to play for Pep Guardiola’s biggest rival given his history with the Catalan manager.

However, if United and manager Mourinho can come to an agreement with the prodigiously talented Thiago, the team will be getting a genuine world-class talent who still has quite a lot to offer
Blessed with an incredible balance and agility that allows him to skip into space and past a marker, Thiago is also capable of playing the long searching balls either in the air on the ground that are the hallmark of all the world’s best registas.
He is able to retain possession under pressure and dribble past opponents into space in order to create chances for his teammates, something Pogba and the other midfielders have consistently failed to do.
Unlike Pogba, the son of former Brazilian World Cup winner Mazinho has the tactical and positional discipline plus ability to dictate the tempo of a match and would serve United very well especially in the big games against fellow top teams.
