The current captain of Inter Milan, Mauro Icardi has been touted for a switch to England for some time now. But the Argentine striker has chosen to stay at Inter Milan despite their failures domestically and in Europe.

The 24-year-old has great ability and potential and can be moulded by Jose Mourinho into a fearsome striker much like his compatriot Sergio Aguero. Icardi has managed to score 18 goals for Inter while also registering eight assists(the highest on this list). He will surely benefit from Mourinho’s style of management and could replace Ibrahimovic as the focal point of Manchester United’s attacks. He will also come relatively cheaper than the other names on this list.

Positives	Negatives
