8) Mats Hummels
The handsome Dortmund defender oozes class. Technically superb and positionally solid, he was the key to Dortmund’s double title wins in 2011 and 2012. The former Bayern Munich youngster has had the opportunity to move to any club in the world, and may yet do so, but for now he has elected to stay at the club where he is a hero. It’s no surprise Man United want him so badly.
