Man Utd Transfers: 5 Key Replacements For Ryan Giggs

4. Alexis Sanchez

alexis sanchez Back in the land of reality and taking a more economical approach this time, Alexis Sanchez is another potential replacement United could buy in for Ryan Giggs. The 24-year old is reportedly unhappy with life at Barcelona after a series of poor performances and a run of injuries limited his appearances at the Nou Camp last season and it could be that the Chilean international is now set for a fresh challenge in England. Arsenal are also interested in the attacker, as are free-spending Monaco, while Manchester City attempted to sign him before he joined Barcelona from Udinese in 2011. Capable of playing as a second striker in a deep role behind the centre forward, Sanchez can also play on the wing and it is this versatility that could provide David Moyes with the same sort of attacking threat Giggs brings to the midfield.
