8. Jonny Evans
Manchester United have been looking for successors to centre back pair Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand for quite some time.
Although young Englishmen Phil Jones and Chris Smalling have been touted, it is Northern Irishman Jonny Evans who appears heir apparent to the veteran double act.
Evans has proved himself a more than capable deputy in the last few seasons with accomplished performances in both Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
Now 25 years of age, it’s time for Evans to cement his place in the side.
