Man Utd Transfers: 10 Strikers That Could Be Louis van Gaal's 'Secret Signing'

5. Fernando Llorente (Juventus)

Fernando Llorente doesn't offer the same goal ratio as some of the previously mentioned names and hasn't been able to demonstrate the clinical finishing that he showed for Athletic Bilbao in the 2011-12 season. During his two years in Turin he has scored a respectable 23 league goals but the player would have wanted more. The Spanish forward who is currently being chased by Barcelona and Real Madrid offers a fantastic aerial presence and at 6ft 5 he will give any top side a genuinely gifted target man. Llorente will be desperate to move as despite Carlos Tevez joining Boca Juniors, the Bianconeri splashed the cash on Atletico Madrid's Mario Mandzukic who offers a similar style of play and will start the majority of games.
