Another player who could possibly be on his way out of his current club. Not too long ago, Saul was one of the most highly-rated young midfielders in world football. He has not been at the top of his game in recent times though.

While Atletico Madrid won the La Liga title last season, Saul did not have a great individual campaign. As a result, he has been linked with a move away from the club this summer and multiple clubs around Europe are believed to be interested in the midfielder.

While he might not be at his best at the moment, the talent or ability is not in question when it comes to Saul. He has shown that he can perform at the highest level and as a result, if the Red Devils were able to sign him, he would most probably be a great addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

He is a very different type of player to Pogba and one who would bring something different to the table. But with the recent rumours of Solskjaer going for a change in formation in the upcoming season, Saul could very well turn out to be the perfect fit. His experience of playing at the very top level could be a huge asset as well as the Red Devils look to return to the top of the Premier League and put up a challenge in the Champions League in the future.

It is worth pointing out that the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and several other clubs around Europe have also been linked with a move for the Spanish midfielder.
