Eliaquim Mangala, FC Porto – £35m
With Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic both leaving the Theatre of Dreams this summer, central defence is also a priority area for recruitment for the new manager.
Mangala has been impressing with Porto over the past few years, but the Portuguese club aren’t willing to allow their prized asset on the cheap – even if the 23-year-old wants a move to the United.
