Over the course of the summer, the Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern were treated to a record-breaking transfer splurge. 

Clearly, money is no problem at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils propping up the bar delighted their side are seemingly hell-bent on landing Galactico after Galactico.

Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic, arriving on a free, has cost a bomb in wages.

One of the wealthiest teams in word football, United are always likely to be involved in big money transfer chases every season.

Stil, must it be that way?

Some of the punters have been taking a look at TransferMarkt, finding some hidden gems rated well under £10m.

Though bargains are increasingly hard to come by in the current climate of the market, the fans drinking away their weeknight worries are waxing poetic about some potential cut-price options.

With that in mind here are THREE players rated under £10m United simply must sign in January.

Bruma

Though Jose Mourinho has a wealth of attacking options at his disposal, the club have been touted as a potential suitor for Galatasaray winger Bruma.

The Portuguese is rated at just £4.25m on the site, despite registering two goals and three assists this term.

Still only 21, the winger would certainly be a wise investment.

Fran Villalba

Not the biggest of names, Valencia youngster Fran Villalba has been linked with a £4m move to the Theatre of Dreams.

As you’d expect from a Spanish midfielder, the 18-year-old is a wonderfully gifted option and has his whole career ahead of him.

Rated at under £1m, surely the Los Che youngster would be quite the coup.

Ante Coric

A number of Premier League powerhouses have been linked with Croatian midfielder Ante Coric, rated at just £8.6m on the website.

Emerging at Dinamo Zagreb, the 19-year-old playmaker would surely be a wise investment for years to come.
