Man Utd Transfers: 10 Players Who Could Replace Angel Di Maria
8. Max Meyer (Schalke 04)
Max Meyer is starting to get the same hype that Schalke teammate Julian Draxler has been getting for the past three years. The 19-year-old would be a risk by Louis van Gaal but the teenager who played 32 games for the German side last season is showing signs of developing into a world class footballer. Meyer has similar dribbling ability to Angel Di Maria and showcased his skills at this summers U21 European Championship where Germany were beaten by Portugal in the semi-final. With Schalke not qualifying for the Champions League this season it could be the right time to bid for the German centre-midfielder.
