Mehdia Benatia – AS Roma
The Daily Star reckons that United are happy to spend up to £30m on the excellent Moroccan. Benatia was one of the very centre-backs in Serie A last season with Roma, who enjoyed an excellent defensive record. United need at least one new centre-back, especially as van Gaal likes to deploy three of them in his wing-back formation. With Mangala going to City, and Vermaelen to Barcelona, a bid for Benatia is not unlikely.
