Man United transfer shortlist: 5 players Van Gaal could realistically sign before window slams shut

3. Lucas Biglia

Whether or not United even need Biglia is another debate, but it appears as though the Lazio captain is still on their radar in the final fortnight of the window.

The 29-year-old will bring leadership and steel to the midfield, but given the similar options that Van Gaal has at his disposal already, it could be a real waste of resources.

Nevertheless, the Argentinian appears to be one of the more likely arrivals.
