Portos Joao Moutinho is another hot property in European football. An excellent passer of the ball, mobile, a proven goal threat and an industrious player, the Portugal international could be an ideal replacement for Scholes. The player has already shown a keen interest in moving to the Premier League, after a move to Tottenham fell through at the eleventh hour. United will have to pay a sizable fee to land the player, but he could prove to be an inspired signing if he can emulate the form he has shown in the Primeira Liga.
