1. Ander Herrera (Athletic Bilbao)
Linked with a move to: Manchester United – The Guardian
Ander Herrera was thought to be on the verge of a move to Manchester United on transfer deadline day in early September, but the Red Devils refused to meet Athletic Club’s colossal valuation of €36 million (approximately £29.9m) – his full release clause.
With the Spanish midfielder in and out of the team this season, and unable to replicate his previous excellent form on a consistent basis, David Moyes ought to be confident of securing his signature for a lower sum should they still be interested.
Herrera is a combative player who meshes well with Athletic Bilbao’s intense pressing style of play – as an average of three tackles per match indicates.
A quality passer and dribbler with a ferocious shot from distance, Herrera could be the solution to Manchester United and David Moyes’ midfield troubles.
He would also not be cup tied for the UEFA Champions League, due to Athletic Bilbao not participating in European competition this term.
