Top 5 replacements for Luke Shaw at Manchester United

#4 Alejandro Grimaldo (Benfica)

Grimaldo in action for Benfica

Contract Expiry: 30th June 2021 (3 Years Remaining)

TransferMarkt value: £11.70 Million

Possibility: 7/10

The next option United can turn to is Alejandro Grimaldo of Benfica. Just 22 years old, the Benfica left back will make the perfect replacement for Shaw if he moves out of Old Trafford in the summer.

The Spaniard was heavily linked with a move to Manchester during October of last year, but the rumours came to a halt after the relationship between Mourinho and Shaw seemed to improve.

But now after the recent distasteful comments, Jose made about the English fullback, United's interest in Grimaldo will surely be rejuvenated in the summer after (and if) Luke Shaw departs.

Despite their reputation and history, United would have to fight hard to land the Spanish fullback. They will have to go head-to-head with the likes of Napoli to land Grimaldo which could result in a massive price inflation, especially in today's absurd transfer market.

Some reports have also suggested that Grimaldo might have already agreed terms with Napoli in January and will complete the move in the summer transfer window, but nothing is official, so there is still hope for United to lure the 22-year-old to England.
