Nemanja Vidic

Could it be? Vidic hasn’t made much of an impact at his new club Inter Milan, yet he was adored at Manchester United.

Van Gaal desperately needs a leader at the back- and Vidic is the perfect man to fill that role.

There is no doubting that it would be wonderful to have the Serbian back on a short term deal with his organisational skills and experience something that Jones, Smalling and Evans lack. Not to mention the gulf in quality.
