2. Ander Herrera – Athletic Bilbao
United’s pursuit of the young midfielder over the summer seemed to come out of nowhere, but it got people pretty excited very quickly.
However, the move didn’t quite make it though after mystery lawyers and an unreasonably high release cause put a halt to proceedings. The Premier League champions have since said that they will up the ante in January in a bid to finally bring their man to the club. David Moyes’ apparent need for more central assets may yet lead the Red Devils back to Herrera’s doorstep in the January period.
