Man Utd Transfers: 10 Players To Replace Louis Van Gaal's Outcasts
3. Juan Cuadrado
To Replace: Nani A cheaper alternative to Angel di Maria and an equally-appropriate replacement for Luis Nani is Juan Cuadrado. Manchester United have been chasing the Colombia international in recent weeks following his impressive showings for his country at this summer's World Cup and are reportedly willing to pay £32 million for the winger. The Metro even went one further this week by suggesting United have agreed personal terms with the South American, who has been tipped to leave current club Fiorentina in favour of a move to England. Cuadrado scored 11 Serie A goals in 37 appearances for the Italians in 2013-14 and, coupled with his impressive World Cup performances with Colombia, have brought him to the Red Devil's attention. United aren't the only team to have shown an interest however, with Spanish giants Barcelona also keen, and the Catalans have scuppered Louis van Gaal's side in the transfer market before this summer, beating them to Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen. If the Reds can secure a deal for Cuadrado however, they would be signing a more-than able replacement for Nani.
