Eliaquim Mangala, FC Porto
Ferdinand and Vidic’s departure will signal the end of an era at United as the old guard of their central defence departs and a new regime will need to be bought in.
Currently Mangala is considered to be one of the most promising centre-backs in European football, although Porto’s asking price is likely to reflect that, and he has the advantage of also being able to operate at left-back.
The 23-year-old has been in Portugal for nearly three years following a transfer from Standard Liege and since then has won two Primeira Liga titles.
