5 realistic signings Manchester United should target

#2 Adrien Rabiot

The French midfielder is one of the best young talents in Ligue 1 and has already established himself as a skilled ball player in the middle of the park. He is very highly rated at PSG but is frustrated with the lack of chances due to the likes of Cabaye, Verrati and Matuidi in the first team lineup. He has one year remaining in his contract and might come for a very reasonable price of under 10 million.

The Red Devils have not been able to revive their midfield to match the old times of Keane, Scholes, Beckham etc. and the current batch of youngsters are not up to the mark to play regularly for United. Rabiot, who is 19 years of age, can be the answer to this long standing issue and develop into one of the worlds best under Van Gaal. He might not be as good as Kroos or Fabregas, but surely has the potential to match the greats in the upcoming years. He is tall, strong and has a good passing range with a vision for starting an attack from the midfield. He can be deployed in the defensive midfield and left midfield position which will help him to be a regular starter for United under Van Gaals 4-3-3 system. The Gaffer has been instrumental in the development of Xavi and Iniesta and might as well promote the young Frenchman to first team ranks sooner than expected.

He will not be a impact player in the upcoming season, but will surely be a regular starter in the next few years at United.
