Who do you think that they should be going for that could actually work? Continue for What Simeone said after the cut.

The Uruguay international, who is reported to have a €30m release clause in his contract, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford as Louis van Gaal seeks to bolster his defence when the transfer window reopens.
