William Carvalho – Sporting Lisbon
The Portuguese defensive midfielder could be another answer to United’s problems in central midfield. Carvalho is excellent at stopping opposition attacks before they get anywhere near his defence. That is exactly what the Red Devils need from a midfielder at the moment and at 22, Carvalho has age on his side, meaning he could develop into a truly world class player. Although his release clause is set at £37 million, reports suggest that the young star could be available for around £20 million although United will face competition from Arsenal if they try and sign him in January, as the Gunners, along with United, made a bid for him on deadline day.
