2. Mats Hummels – Borussia Dortmund
Throughout the club’s recruitment drive in the transfer window fans were calling for Van Gaal to recognise the club’s massive defensive frailties by bringing in a player capable of pulling everyone together. Marcos Rojo was brought in, and Daley Blind can also feature at the back, but the club still look short in that area.
But the Express believe that when the transfer window re-opens Hummels will become United’s ‘Galacticos’ signing, but that will all depend on how their back line holds up from now until the new year.
