#2 Jose Gaya- Valencia

Valencia v Deportivo La Coruna - La Liga
Jose Gaya is an aggressive defender

Jose Gaya has gradually established himself at Valencia and he has been one of the brightest prospects in an exciting squad. The Spaniard is only 23-years-old and has also, on occasion, filled in as a left winger.

As is expected of a modern left back, Gaya is quick and is good on the ball. He is an aggressive defender and is not afraid to go into a tackle. However, he can prove to be a bit reckless and was booked 11 times in the Serie A this season.

What sets Gaya apart, however, is his ability to pick a pass. He can play well-weighted through balls which makes him a threat on the counter and that'd be something that Jose Mourinho will be captivated by.

Signing Gaya won't be a difficult thing to pull off for United and they will have to shell out something in the ballpark of £30 million if they are to secure his services for the upcoming season.
