2) Juan Cuadrado (Fiorentina)
Another superb winger believed to be on United’s radar this summer, Juan Cuadrado is hopefully still an option for van Gaal as he seeks the ideal right-sided player to fill the wing-back slot in his 3-5-2 formation. The Colombian international was in superb form for Fiorentina in Serie A last term, and followed that up with a strong showing at the World Cup earlier this summer. The 26-year-old is a great dribbler with bags of pace and ability, and could cause havoc for Premier League defenders up and down the country if United get hold of him. However, they will likely face competition from Chelsea and Barcelona for his signature.
