3) Ander Herrera
Despite only signing him this summer, United are also said to be contemplating getting rid of Ander Herrera this January. Although he has been dropped to the bench in recent games, the Spaniard has looked a class act in many of United’s games this season, giving them the composure and quality on the ball that they’ve needed for so long in midfield. He may not be spectacular, but given time, Herrera could become a real pivotal player for the club in the Xabi Alonso mould, and it seems rash to get rid of him at this early stage.
