CB) Ezequiel Garay (Zenit St. Petersburg – £20m)
United missed the boat with Argentine international central defender Garay this summer when he joined Zenit for just £12m for Benfica, but reports suggest that van Gaal is ready to return for the 28 year-old. After he only signed this summer, however, Zenit are likely to demand at least £20m for the player, meaning that missing out the first time around could prove to be a costly error.
