Bernardo Silva
While a reported asking price of £70m for Silva is much more likely to be splashed out in the summer rather than in the next couple of weeks – the punters standing at the bar believe the club would be nuts to pay that much for him now – the January transfer window is never short of surprises.
As Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho looks for a successful end to the season, he may just be willing to bring in a player that can give them an extra little spark – which the Portugal international proved he can with a brilliant strike in his club’s win against Tottenham at Wembley in the Champions League in September – the landlord was impressed with that goal!
Alongside Benjamin Mendy, the 22-year-old has enjoyed a successful season for Ligue 1 table-toppers Monaco and Silva, who often plays in the number 10 role, has scored four and assisted four in the league this term – an impressive return that will make the fans in the tavern sit up and take note.
