4. Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)
The young French defender was very impressive in his first season at Real Madrid and looked like he could become a world class centre back one day. Unfortunately, last season Varane struggled with injuries and lost his place in the Real first team to Pepe and Sergio Ramos. Reports this summer suggested the centre back could leave the Spanish capital for a club that could offer him first team football. United were urged to try and sign the Frenchman by Rio Ferdinand but they were too busy signing more attacking targets. Varane could have been a wonderful player for United and would have solved their defensive problems almost immediately.
