The Leicester City star is a skilful midfielder who could match Bruno Fernandes's versatility, as he can play as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, or even as a left winger. Bought for around £20 million last year, Maddison has quickly justified his transfer value.

He amassed 35 league appearances as a starter in his debut season for the Foxes, scoring 7 goals and contributing the same number of assists. An agile midfielder who is adept at scoring goals as well as creating chances, Maddison would be a huge boost for United midfield.

He is also an excellent dribbler, as he averaged 1.4 successful dribbles per game last season. His defensive ability may be in question, but his valuable Premier League experience should be taken into consideration.

The 22-year-old's market value has skyrocketed since his debut season with Leicester. Thus, United might need to fork out a considerable amount for the star.
