Midfield:
In midfield, there could still be another new signing completed before the deadline as Louis van Gaal targets another raid on one of his old national team players in Nigel de Jong. The former Manchester City defensive midfielder, currently of AC Milan, looks to be United’s first choice in that position now after they missed out on the likes of Arturo Vidal and Fredy Guarin. Although he is hardly world class, de Jong should prove a useful, experienced addition to this Red Devils squad, lining up alongside fellow new arrivals Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria in the middle of the park.
