List of Manchester United transfer targets - Part 1

Cesc Fabregas (FC Barcelona)

With Fabregas not really hitting the form he had when he was with Arsenal, it might just be that English football suits him the best. Join Arsenal for a reunion with The Gunners or join Manchester United and get guaranteed shots at trophies. It’s not really a hard choice, considering the kind of player Fabregas is, he wants more play, score more goals, win more trophies, and he is wanted by United as an impact signing.

Chances of it happening – 4/10 I don’t really see him leaving Barcelona, thinking about what will happen when Xavi retires. Barcelona are going to need someone to fill in his place and it’s most likely going to be Fabregas.

Price - £30m sounds right, if he HAS to leave the most successful club in recent times.

Marouane Fellaini (Everton)

If you ask me, what United need is a really strong player with brilliant chest control who has a good defensive and offensive mind, and the name that pops to your head is Marouane Fellaini. Moyes should stop dreaming about signing Claudio Marchisio or ?lkay Gündo?an who are really overpriced.

Chances of it happening – 6/10 He enjoyed success under David Moyes at Everton, so why not at United? But Martinez isn’t going to let him go easy.

Price - £20m to £25m sounds about right given his aggressive style of play and age.

Yohan Cabaye (Newcastle United)

Now, this is one interesting target. If you match all his attributes in with the style of play of other United players, he actually fits in quite well. If United actually complete this transfer, this would bolster their defence as well as attack.

Chances of it happening – 7/10 Newcastle or Manchester United – not a very tough choice, coming from a player who wants to build his name in Europe.

Price - £10m to £15m sounds about right.

Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur)

This jet heeled Welshman has built his reputation with a medium club, I’m dying to see how he plays with a club that actually qualifies for the champions league. But honestly speaking, he’s out of united’s price range, but it doesn’t change the fact that he could fill in the boots of Ryan Giggs.

Chances of it happening – 2/10 Never doubt united when it comes to seriously brilliant players like Bale, but given that Madrid also want him, United have a really slim chance.

Price - £100m? If he plays the same way he played at Spurs last season, combined with every the skill he possess, he can can be very handy in the Champions League. He’ll be worth every single penny.
