#2 Adrien Rabiot
The French midfielder will also be a suitable replacement for his compatriot. The PSG starlet has been on United's radar for quite some time now with the Manchester club trying to hire his services under Louis Van Gaal's stewardship only for Rabiot to turn them down and sign a new deal with PSG.
Since then he has been a constant presence in the PSG side and has made himself a fan-favourite at Parc-des-Princes despite the presence of superstars such as Neymar, Cavani, Mbappe, Draxler among others. The holding midfielder finished the season with 5 goals and 7 assists in all competitions as he helped PSG to storm to a domestic treble.
However, his ill temperament has been a concern for the French side as they have stalled on a new deal and their home-grown talent has now entered the final year of his deal.
And should a situation is to arise where Pogba ends up leaving the Red Devils it will make perfect financial sense for Ed Woodward - a shrewd businessman - to go after Rabiot as he will cost considerably less. This would leave Jose with a bigger war chest and he will be able to invest in other areas of the pitch - most notably a central defender and a right-winger.
