United are also keen on Wolfsburg ace Kevin De Bruyne, according to the Metro. Rated at £34.9 million, the 24-year-old scored 16 goals and managed 27 assists last season. This has made a mockery of Chelsea letting him go eighteen months ago, with the midfielder actually managing better stats than Cesc Fabregas at Stamford Bridge.
With Di Maria their top assist maker with ten last season, it will be important that they replace the 27-year-old’s creativity. While Pedro will be able to bring a dangerous presence on the wing who can run on to passes, United will still need someone to be giving him the ball. De Bruyne could be the perfect man to do this.
