Fabio Coentrao (Real Madrid to Manchester United)

The champions may have just failed to lure the attack-minded Portugal international to Old Trafford during the January transfer window, but with doubts still persisting about the future of left-back Patrice Evra in the north west, United are expected to land the full back this summer according to the Daily Star. 

Paul Pogba (Juventus to Manchester United)
