Man Utd transfer latest: Vidal, Di Maria in King Louis's dream team

Published

Louis Van Gaal is done with the World Cup. Especially if you consider his remarks as regards today’s third-place play-off against Brazil.
Van Gaal openly criticized the third-place play-off game saying it was unnecessary.

So his Manchester United revolution gets truly under way and the focus is on the midfield.
Chile’s Arturo Vidal (Juventus) and Argentina’s Angel Di Maria (Real Madrid) are the strong links to shore up the United midfield – the critical weakness that led the Red Devils to their worst league performance for decades under David Moyes last season.

While ‘La Tercera’ reports that Vidal is on his way to United for £32m, CNN has Di María agreeing to a £150k per week deal.
Vidal seems the stronger of the two links and most likely to happen first.

The Daily Mail also reported of Vidal’s agent in extensive talks with United.
Paris Saint-Germain are also in for di Maria.

Vidal has the ability to dominate and rule midfield in a Roy Keane type of role, while Di Maria’s passing ability might bring memories of Paul Scholes, though he is a different type of player.
