Five midfielders Manchester United could have signed this transfer window

4. Paulinho

Another Spurs player on this list. Paulinho came into the spotlight at the Confederations Cup earlier this summer. Along with Neymar, he helped Brazil win the Confederations Cup in style, by comprehensively beating Spain in the final.

At 25 years of age, he is a regular starter for the Brazil national team that is expected by many to win next year’s FIFA World Cup. He is very versatile and can play as a defensive midfielder, holding midfielder, or behind a striker as an attacking midfielder. He signed for Spurs for £17.5 million.
