Manchester United is the likely the most successful English Club in history, winning a 19th Premier League title last season, something no other English club has ever done. Sir Alex would hope to make it 20 League titles this season and in order to make this historical goal realistic, he would have to have to dip into some funds to buy reinforcements.
Why you may ask? Well after their Humiliating 6-1 defeat to rivals Manchester City, eye brows were raised as to if this current crop of players had credentials to become champions. Ever since the retirement of Paul Scholes and the injuries that have haunted defender Rio Ferdinand, many have questioned United's Defense and Midfield.
Though, United could boast of their attacking prowess, with the likes of world class strikes, Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez along with speedy and skillful wingers, Nani, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia. However we see much more is needed if they want to meet the likes of their Rivals City and also Spanish Giants, Barcelona and Real Madrid. With that being said here is a list of players who have been monitored closely by the Red Devil's Manager.
WESLEY SNEIJDER
1) Wesley Sneijder- He is a Dutch footballer who is currently with Italian Giants Inter Milan. He plays as an Attacking Midfielder/Play Maker and is highly rated as1 of the world's best creative midfielders.
United have been trying to sign the Dutchman since the last summer transfer window, as a replacement for Paul Scholes but the deal collapsed due to the heavy price tag the Inter Milan star carried.
United however would be keen on bringing him in this January transfer window as the Red Devil's current Midfielders haven't really put in star performances for the 1st half of the season so far and also with their Rivals on top the League.

MARIO GOTZE
2) Mario Gotze- The German footballer is currently playing with last season's Bundesliga Champions, Borussia Dortmund. The attacking midfielder, age 19, is among the most popular prospects in Europe, having his name haunting Bayern fans this weekend as he scored the winner against Munich. With Fergie's philosophy of investing in young talented players, the Scott would be tempted to make a bid for the young German star.
CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN
3) Christian Eriksen- The young Danish star, at the age of 19 is already been marked as a world class player with a bright future ahead of him. He currently plays with Ajax and is targeted by a lot of top European clubs. With Sir Alex still looking for a Paul Scholes replacement, Eriksen would be a good investment.
JAVI GARCIA
4) Javi Garcia- The Spaniard, who has the amazing ability to destroy plays, is currently with Benfica and has been on Manchester United's Radar a while now.
With departure of Owen Hargreaves, United have literally no defensive midfielders in the squad with the likes of Carrick and Fletcher playing makeshift ones at times.
With United back line being easily exposed these days, Sir Alex would want to bring in the midfielder this January transfer window.
JAVI MATINEZ
5) Javi Martinez- The Spanish midfielder is quickly making a name for himself at Athletic Bilbao, combining his explosive/lung bursting and rampaging runs with his keen eye for goal.
The Athletic man is sought after by many top European clubs including United rivals Manchester City. The only thing that would deter Ferguson is the huge price tag that he carries (£34 million).
NICO GAITAN
MILOS KRASIC
MATEO KOVACIC
6) Nico Gaitan- The Argentine, 23, who plays for Benfica, has been in fantastic form so far this season and has caught the eye of the Red Devil's Manager when United where held to a 1-1 draw by Benfica. Reports indicate that Sir Alex is very much interested in the winger and is willing to compete with other top European clubs for the young Benfica star.
RICKY VAN WOLFWINKEL
7) Ricky Van Wolfswinkel- The young Dutch striker has caught the eye of United's manager with his pace and tricky skills reports the Guardian. The only problem would be that he would have a tough time for a starting position competing with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez.
MILOS KRASIC
8) Milos Krasic- The Juve Player who is the splitting image of football legend Pavel Nedved is under going a tough patch at the Italian club. United were linked with the Serbian star a while back but their interest has been rekindled, looking to take advantage of the fact that the player has fallen out of favor with the club.
MATEO KOVACIC
9) Mateo Kovacic- The 17 year old is already being called the new Luca Modric and it has been reported by the Metro that he favors move to United rather than Arsenal. The young Croatian star has already made his intentions known and it would be up to Sir Alex if to invest in another promising player.
SHINJI KAGAWA
10) Shinji Kagawa- The Borussia Dortmund star has been linked with the Red Devils a while now and with the red outfits still in the hunt for a replacement for Paul Scholes they would be tempted to submit a bid for the player in the January transfer window. United would be in for stiff competition as the player is being also targeted by A.C. Milan, Juventus and Liverpool.
