#2 Thiago Alcantara - Bayern Munich
Talking about pace, Manchester United's midfield lacks it. While Pogba and Matic are excellent with their holding qualities, midfield is an area that will require more than just passing. In such circumstances, a quick and intelligent midfielder is what Manchester United needs, and Thiago Alcantara is the answer.
While he is carrying a price tag of about €60 million, Manchester United will not be shy of spending that extra money in order to secure his signature and bring back depth into the midfield. Fred isn't really doing much with the Red Devils, but Thiago can surely be a good replacement for him, as he is known for his playmaking abilities, set-pieces, versatility, and ambidexterity.
He is also branded as one of the best Spanish midfielders in the world, and Manchester United can take advantage by thoroughly using his skills on the pitch. The offer, however, will have to be extremely enticing.
