There are always loads of rumors every summer about who will be coming to and leaving Old Trafford. If you know anything you know that most of the rumors are usually just that...rumors. If you are a United, you also know that United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, usually goes with the unexpected off the radar purchase. However, United Chairman David Gill has suggested that the team may go a little further than usual in spending this summer and may bring in at least one notable name.
The most talked about players so far are David De Gea as a replacement for Van der sar, Ashley Cole from Aston VIlla, and Luca Modric and Sneijder as possible replacements for Paul Scholes who announced his official retirement today. Sat Nav you will be missed. Paul Scholes was the greatest midfielder of his generation according to Zinedine Zidane. Who is going to argue with him?
Today I thought it would be interesting to ask for comments about who you think should come to Old Trafford as well as name some the few names I would look to sign this summer. Here are some of them.
Each player is followed by a youtube link.
Since Manuel Neuer seems to be an unavailable choice I guess that I would look to DeGea (who fergie seems to have already chosen according to the media) or Adler. De Gea seems to be on his way and could be a good choice. He is very collected in big matches and is very athletic and agile. His age gives me some reservation though. Adler has been first choice at Bayern Leverkusen and has done well there. He is known for having great reaction times and his age isnt a factor so he also could be a choice. although it is difficult to see him leaving Germany.

As far as The Midfield is concerned...
Lassana Diarra would be a great addition to our midfield. He would fill that void in front of the defense that continues to cause us problems. He is aggressive and has already proven himself in england. With Reald Madrid signing Sahin from Dortmund in the Bundesliga it would not be surprising to se Lass leave the Bernebau.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is an extremely versatile player who can play on either wing as well as in the center. In the center he exceeds defensively as well as a play maker pushing forward and would be a great replacement for Scholes. This signing is most unlikely but I am a fan and could see him doing well for the side.

Charlie Adam had a wonderful first season in the prem this year and most likely will depart Blackpool because of relegation. Adam is a true warrior in the midfield and would seem to fit in well at United. He is unproven at the highest level though.

Cheik Tiote has proven himself to be a vital asset for Newcastle United this season and could make a move away from the Toon this summer. Also a warrior in the midfield who would fill that space just in front of the two center backs that United have not filled in recent years.

Keisuke Honda showed his quality at the world cup last summer. Another Versatile midfielder who can perform as a more deep lying play maker or push forward in an advanced attacking role. Move to Old Trafford would be most unlikely but could be an incredible asset to the team.
