#2 Manchester United

What makes Bernardo Silva such a teasing transfer to Manchester United is mainly because of two reasons. Firstly, he’s with the Gestifute agency operated by Jorge Mendes, who also represents Jose Mourinho among other people which include a number of players Mourinho has signed in the past and United stopper David de Gea. Secondly, he may be exactly the sort of player that the Old Trafford outfit could find a use for in six or 12 months’ time.
The 22-year-old has the ability to play anywhere in the front three behind the main striker – he’s rotated often during matches, which was especially evident against Manchester City and Spurs in the Champions League. Although the fact remains that Mourinho isn’t short of players in those positions, but Silva is an exciting young prospect who could become a world-class star.
The Red Devils boss is believed to be a huge admirer of the young Portugues winger and has even taken a step forward, having opened talks between the player and the Old Trafford club. However, Silva won’t come cheap as his current contract doesn’t expire for another three years and thus he may end up costing upwards of £70 million.
