20 classic Jack Nicklaus quotes in honor of the Golden Bear’s 77th birthday

Blaise Matuidi

United were heavily linked with Matuidi, during the summer, as a potential option if the Paul Pogba deal fell through. The PSG and French midfielder was then apparently on the way to Juventus, but the two clubs failed to make an agreement before the transfer window closed. Having partnered Pogba in the midfield for France during Euro 2016, and with Pogba's strength and speed and the industry of Matuidi, this would be an obvious partnership that could thrive at Old Trafford. The deal would probably cost United up words of 30-40 million euros. Source: http://media.rtl.fr/

Julian Weigl

Weigl is one of the best young midfielders in the Bundesliga, right now - and all of Europe, for that matter. He seems extremely calm on the ball for only 21 years old, and has made that anchor position in the Dortmund midfield his so far in the 2016/17 season. Though it may be tough for United to pry him away from Tuchel's team, with a current market value estimated at 18 million euros, there is little doubt that he would be a solid addition to the Red Devils.

Mateo Kovacic

Kovacic is receiving more and more playing time under Zidane as of late, but will likely play second fiddle to Casemiro in the holding midfield role when the Brazilian returns from injury. The Croatian international is yet to have a breakout year in Madrid, but certainly looks the part alongside Modric and Kroos. He is currently valued around 20 million euros, and at 22 years of age, still has a lot of room to improve. Though he wouldn't be the top choice for Mourinho in all likelihood, he would definitely provide a bit more stability than the likes of Fellaini and Schneiderlin. Source: Perform

Reece Oxford

Reece Oxford is a young unproven talent, but having been a part of the West Ham squad for the past few seasons, he will have had time to really study and become accustomed to the Premier League. The 17-year-old would certainly be a signing for the future, rather than a title-winning buy, but having been linked with Manchester United before, he looks like a likely option. Although he is valued around 4 million euros, it would certainly take a much higher bid to secure his services from the Hammers at this point in time, especially when West Ham's defence seems to need as much protection as they can get. However, with his youth along with Pogba, Rashford and Martial, Mourinho would have the makings of a great future at United. Source: mcfcwatch

Mario Balotelli

As frustrating as he is renegade. You've got to love him. Yet, some scum of the Earth decided to racially abuse the Liverpool legend in 2010. And they were his own Italian fans. Disgusting. Image Source: The Independent

My swing isn't pretty like Snead's or functional like Hogan's. But the most important thing about it, to me, is understanding it -- being able to take it apart and put it back together again. A lot of players on the tour don't know what to do about it when something goes wrong with their swing. Arnold knows; I think I know pretty well, too. (Image source/Jack Nicklaus, Twitter)

Antony Martial

£65,000-a-week isn't bad for a player who hasn't turned up, this season. Source: Independent

Luke Shaw

One of England's most promising defenders. Shaw has done brilliantly to come back from his tragic injury last year, and takes home £70,000 for his troubles. Source: Independent

Philippe Coutinho

The Liverpool man takes back 5K less than Shelvey, at a modest £75,000-a-week. Source: This Is Anfield

Laurent Koscielny

Putting Diego Costa in your back pocket only gets your £70,000-a-week. Source: Guardian

10) Hector Bellerin – 34.77

When Bellerin caught up with Pedro in the Arsenal versus Chelsea match, we genuinely thought the Spaniard was in the wrong sport. Amazing that he's only 10th on the list. Source: Independent

Ivan Rakitic

What a player the Croat is. The unsung man in a brilliant Barcelona side. The Catalans would miss the midfielder hugely, but still the Barca man earns less than the Newcastle man. The Croat gets £75,000-a-week dropped into his account. Source: Huffpost

Isco

You'd expect Real Madrid's youth players to take home more than Shelvey, let alone the first-team lads. At £60,000-a-week, Isco is some way off of Shelvey's undeserved wage. Source: The Sun

Joshua Kimmich

The 21-year-old has had a blistering start to the 2016/17 season, and even had the honor of featuring as a defensive option for Germany during Euro 2016. He seems to have the maturity of a much older player, and having made the move to midfield this season under Ancelotti, he has even added a few goals to his game. This move seems to be the least likely to happen, as Bayern certainly consider Kimmich to be one of the future stars of the team. Having said this, with the signing of Renato Sanches, in the summer, a player that United seemed intent on getting, a hefty transfer fee could be enough to bring him to the north of England. His defensive-minded approach to the game would certainly allow Pogba and company to drive forward without fear of space being left open in behind. Kimmich is valued around 20 million euros, but seeing his performances so far this season, it likely would cost double that to take him away from Munich. Source: cleansheetsallround
