The 2013 English Premier League crown was recently claimed by the ever resilient Manchester United, but now they face a new battle as they look to build an even stronger roster and get the necessary transfers that they need to be able to defend their title next season.

With that in mind, here are the potential names that are currently linked to the EPL champs:

Cristiano Ronaldo
With their Champions League season over, Real Madrid’s main player has been recently rumoured to return to his former EPL squad for a pretty hefty fee of € 77 million. Although it is still with medium probability, according to reports, the Portuguese superstar has a potential transfer in store.

Gareth Bale
Tottenham Spurs’ Gareth Bale is said to be linked with Man U for a really huge fee as well, approximately £ 55 million. The Spurs will not be willing to lose their star to their EPL rivals any time soon so it is not with high possibility that this transfer will pull through indefinitely.

Robert Lewandowski
His name echoed across the world of soccer because of the 4 goals that he scored in the Champions League clash against Real Madrid. Due to his great performance in the 1. Bundesliga over the past couple of seasons, a lot of clubs like Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, have been clawing against each other to have the Polish superstar to transfer to their respective clubs.

But out of all of these clubs, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are the ones ahead of the pursuit for Lewandowski. Bayern Munich is ready to offer € 25 million whereas Manchester United is prepared to give £ 18 million, so these two football titans would have to battle it out to get the ever reliable Robert Lewandowski.

James Rodriguez
The 21 year old is said to be in the crosshairs of Man U. According to reports, it will take £ 30 million for the FC Porto youngster to transfer to the English Premier League with Manchester United.

Wayne Rooney
Manchester United is preparing a contract extension for their local superstar. It is speculated to be a 4 year contract that will be worth  £ 200,000 per week. The huge contract came into play when Man U had a negotiation battle against their rival Manchester City for Rooney’s service.
