7. Axel Witsel
Age: 23 Club: Benfica Position: Midfielder Benficas Axel Witsel has been a name that has been rumoured with a move to Old Trafford all summer. The 23-year-old Belgium International has also reportedly attracted attention from Chelsea. With Chelsea managing to edge United out to buy Hazard, United are in need of a young central midfielder to take over Paul Scholes role in the team. Witsel only signed for Benfica last year and with 48 appearances and 5 goals for the club he still needs to settle in. Sir Alex might want to hold off in order to scout Witsel next year before making a bid. The player is highly rated in the team and has received several individual honors at all levels of football.
