4. Giuseppe Rossi – Fiorentina
The American-born Italian international has matured greatly since he was last at Old Trafford, and has blossomed into one of Europe’s finest strikers in the process.
Having made his name at Villarreal, he is now proving that he can score goals in Serie A too, as his 12 goals in 16 games has meant that Fiorentina have managed to keep up their own European challenge once again. At 26, he is neither too young nor too old to shoulder the responsibility of replacing RVP’s boots and will feel as though he still has something to prove in Manchester.
