2) Juan Cuadrado (Fiorentina)
A player who might fit in better into van Gaal’s 3-5-2 system, Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado could be an excellent signing for United after his recent strong run of form. The exciting Colombian international was one of the best wide-players in Europe last season, and impressed for his country at this summer’s World Cup. Barcelona are also known to be keen on the 26-year-old, but the Red Devils should definitely step up their interest in him, as he would likely only cost as much as £36m, nearly half of Ronaldo’s reported asking price.
