8. Wilfried Zaha for Yohan Cabaye
Although this would not be an out-and-out swap deal, the promise of exciting young winger Wilfried Zaha on loan to Newcastle for the rest of the season could tempt the Magpies into selling their French midfield maestro Yohan Cabaye to Manchester United this January.
As United continue to monitor several options to add some creativity to their midfield, Cabaye could be another good option worth looking at, and given his flirtation with Arsenal over the summer, the 27-year-old would surely jump at the chance to move to Old Trafford if they wanted him. Likewise, Zaha is currently frustrated at a lack of first-team opportunities with the Premier League champions and is said to be a loan target for Newcastle.
It may be an ambitious move, as Newcastle would surely prefer a more permanent option in return for Cabaye, but the addition of Zaha even for half a season could be a great signing for them and help ease the loss of Cabaye, who would certainly be a great fit at United.
