5 Potential Bargain Buys for Manchester United This Summer

Fans of Manchester United are hoping this summer will be a lavish one for the club, but it is far more likely that only one or two significant signings will be made.

The Red Devils aren't known for going through a high player turnover—despite the massive depth in the squad.

With this being said, the arrival of David Moyes—king of the bargain signing—to Old Trafford could see the introduction of several relatively unknown players for cheap.

This article will pick five quality players who could serve United well for an affordable price.

Ross Barkley

David Moyes has seen the talents of Ross Barkley firsthand at Everton.

It would come as little surprise if the Scotsman were to make a move for the technically gifted midfielder this summer.

Earlier this year, Moyes seemed to downplay the hype, saying, "Ross has a long way to go and you should not expect to see him regularly. If I think he is the best man for the job he will definitely play," via The Guardian.

With Moyes' exit, the Red Devils could look to exploit the cash-poor Merseyside club.

In terms of how much it would cost to land him, think somewhere close to £5 million—bargain No. 1.

Angelo Ogbonna

Torino survived the threat of relegation in Serie A this season, but that doesn't mean their prize player will want to stick around.

Angelo Ogbonna has been tipped for greatness for some time now—he's been linked with almost every big club on the continent.

Some of the gloss seems to have washed off him this term as he's struggled with injury.

Now would be the perfect time for David Moyes to make a bid for his services, should he wish to acquire another option in central defence.

Torino would be unlikely to demand more than £10 million in a transfer.

Bruma

This one is cheating a bit, but wasn't United's £12 million signing of Cristiano Ronaldo one of the biggest bargains in the history of the game?

Sporting Lisbon aren't likely to let new prodigy Bruma go for cheap this summer, but any investment now is sure to pay dividends later.

The 18-year-old winger has the potential to be a world-beater. He dances on the ball, gliding past defenders with immense ease.

He broke into the Portuguese side's first team this campaign, showing his raw genius in flashes.

Sporting will be braced for bids, but a deal could be struck for a similar price as Ronaldo's 10 years ago this summer.

Mohamed Diame

This one is a little out of left-field, but why shouldn't the Red Devils' consider West Ham's Mohamed Diame this summer?

The box-to-box midfielder would be an able backup for Moyes, providing plenty of strength in the middle.

He would be a terrific bargain—it is well-known there is a release clause in his contract for only £3.5 million, according to The Mirror.

The Senegal international would suit Moyes' game to a tee, and could do well alongside Michael Carrick.

He is 25 years old, and fast approaching the peak of his abilities.

Juan Fernando Quintero

Earlier this month, Manchester United were linked with a move for Atletico Nacional's Juan Fernando Quintero, according to the Daily Mail.

The Colombia international spent the last season on loan at Serie A side Pescara, and was unable to prevent them from suffering relegation.

Atletico are a giant of Colombian domestic football, but would have their hand forced if United came calling.

In terms of price range, the Red Devils shouldn't have to offer more than £10 million for the attack-minded central playmaker.

He is one of many potential bargains lurking in the summer transfer window.

Are any of these players worth a punt for David Moyes and United?
