8. Christian Eriksen
Christian Eriksen is one of the hottest properties in European football at the moment. The Danish midfielder has quickly come of age in Dutch football, and his performances have caught the eye of many top clubs across the continent. As a player, he has all of the qualities that would make him a perfect fit for United. He is technically outstanding; he has the composure of Michael Carrick; and he fits the mould of recent signings like Kagawa and Van Persie as having a good football brain. Combine these traits with the fact that the lad is still only 21 years old, and you have the prospect of an outstanding signing.
