Wesley Sneijder: The Dutch midfielder was repeatedly linked with the Red Devils throughout the latter stages of Sir Alex Ferguson’s era, but he later joined Galatasaray in 2013 and is now their biggest name. The Galatasaray star has been consistent with an excellent form at the Turkish club. He will be the man to watch out for. His passes and movement in the midfield are lethal as any other world-class playmaker.
