#2) Ryan Fraser (AFC Bournemouth)

​

​

If Manchester United fail to sign James Maddison or Youri Tielemans from Leicester City, then Ed Woodward should look out for the talented Scottish midfielder, Ryan Fraser of AFC Bournemouth.

Coming through the youth ranks of Aberdeen FC, AFC Bournemouth bought Fraser for a fee of €480000 in 2013-14. Since the transfer, the player has not looked back and has performed his best for the club.

Ryan Fraser likes to play on the flanks of the attack but can play in the middle of the park. The Scottish midfielder can easily draft into any formation and make an impact for the club.

The midfielder makes the classical runs into the box and loves to swing the ball into the box. Ryan Fraser is an aggressive player and puts his heart on the sleeves for the club which directly resemble the greats of Red Devils. Fraser is still 25 and is much closer to hit the peak of his career. The club can bring in Ryan Fraser for a relatively lower price who has the hunger for the glory and passion for the club.

After a disastrous climax of the last season, the fans eagerly wait for Solskjaer to prove his worth as the Red Devils seemed to have lost the mojo after the Norwegian was named the permanent manager. A desperate revival could be on the cards.
