"SPEED AND CREATIVITY" - LOUIS VAN GAAL

In an official interview with BBC Sport, Louis Van Gaal revealed that Manchester United need a player of "speed and creativity". The Dutch manager also listed a host of players including: Willian and Hazard, Robben and Ribery, Bale and Ronaldo, and finally Messi and Neymar as examples. After the departure of Nani and possibly Angel Di Maria, Manchester United will lack speed and creativity on the left and right flank of midfield. Louis Van Gaal could be looking at Pedro from Barcelona who is considered unsettled at the football club and has a buy out clause of only 22 million! Definitely affordable and is a keen and one of the best players available in his class. You can watch the interview at:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33675031

Sergio Romero • Welcome to Manchester United • 2015

MANCHESTER UNITED SIGN ROMERO!

Big Surprise! Manchester United have officially signed the Argentinean goalkeeper Sergio Romero from free agency. Sergio Romero is an amazing keeper who represented Argentina in the World Cup last year in Brazil and up to the finals. At the semi finals he kept out Louis Van Gaal's Dutch squad in penalties in the semi finals. A great player to replace Victor Valdes and to even replace David de Gea if he were to leave. Great signing! It seems as if this is the mystery signing that Louis Van Gaal was getting hyped about!

DI MARIA GOODBYE?

After the victory of Manchester United over world champions Barcelona in the US preseason tour, Louis Van Gaal had a conversation or interview with the press where he said, two players who were represented in the Argentina squad for the Copa America, missed their flight to the US. The two players were Marcos Rojo and Angel Di Maria. Louis Van Gaal said that Marcos Rojo ringed up the football club saying that he had passport issues, whereas with Angel Di Maria he just blatantly missed his flight. Javier Hernandez however got his flight and has reunited with the football club. There has been amid rumours that Angel Di Maria has been linked with a move to PSG and it sounds likely to be true. But if that's how a professional football player goes about it, that's just absolutely stupid. Even if David de Gea is unsettled at United he got on the plane and performed very well against Barcelona. He's committed to play well at such a big club. I can't wait to see the back of Angel Di Maria, and i hope Ed Woodward and Louis Van Gaal make the right decision and sell the player to another club maybe Ligue 1 the best league in Europe! It's really been disappointing because us United fans have relied upon him, we've been loyal despite his poor form since of family problems etc.

Van Gaal has transfer targets in two positions

In an exclusive interview with MUTV, Louis Van Gaal was asked by Stewart Gardner if he expects more players to arrive before the deadline at the end of August. Louis Van Gaal replied: "I hope so. No, we are not finished yet, I think. We need a balance in the selection and I think we still need to improve at least two positions and we shall do when it is possible. But we shall only buy when the player can give a contribution to our level. And, of course, that is in the eyes of our staff, but I have to have confidence that he can cope with the rhythm of the Premier League." The question is though what is the two positions? My prediction is that he could be looking to improve the Centre defence and to improve the striking position. Wayne Rooney is lonely and needs a companion! The other question is who?

NICOLAS OTAMENDI FORCING MANCHESTER UNITED MOVE?

Nicolas Otamendi is edging ever closer to a Manchester United move after not appearing in Valencia's kit launch which means that he's not ready to play for the club next season. The agent is expected to fly to England to arrange a deal for the Argentine. Nicolas Otamendi wants a move to Manchester United NOW. Everton have sent in a bid for Johnny Evans of £8 million, and Nicolas Otamendi would fill in the missing experience at the back four and improve the defence further.

GREAT PLAYERS TO BE AXED?

Unsure is the future of Angel Di Maria and Victor Valdes. However Louis Van Gaal says Manchester United are planning to sell Victor Valdes because of his refusal to play for the reserves last season which he did. Whether he did or not it seems as if Louis Van Gaal has no plans to use the Spanish keeper in the team, and realises its best to sell him now to cover wages and make profit if so since arriving from Barcelona for free. Victor Valdes is expected to leave the club this summer. This could mean that Louis Van Gaal is looking to do as much as he can to hold on to David de Gea.

Whereas with Angel Di Maria the situation is unsure as said by Louis Van Gaal. If the Argentinean is to leave the club, PSG is the first destination, who have still been linked with the winger since the arrival of him to Manchester United.

FENERBAHCE SIGN VAN PERSIE

Fenerbahce have officially signed Robin Van Persie, the news was released on the Fenerbahce twitter (@Fenerbahce_EN). The Dutch striker has been up and down in form. At his first season at Manchester United he won the Barclays Premier League as aim when he joined. However after the retirement of Alex Ferguson, his form dropped. Still though making small important appearances. It's a sad loss, Robin Van Persie adds a little swag and style to Manchester United. That's two players lost to Fenerbahce, first Luis Nani and now Robin Van Persie.
The question is, if Manchester United have enough strikers? Or will Louis Van Gaal include James Wilson in front of the solid midfield.

MANCHESTER UNITED SCHNEIDERLIN AND SCHWEINSTEIGER! - PROBLEMS?

Manchester United are off to USA for preseason with two new faces! 

Manchester United have officially announced the signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin from Bayern Munich and Southampton. Bastian Schweinsteiger is a highly experienced midfielder, captain of Bayern Munich and the German National who he led to win the World Cup last year in Brazil. He has worked along side Louis Van Gaal and perfectly matches and fits his style and philosophy, i cant wait for next season! Morgan Schneiderlin is a player that fans of the Barclays Premier League would have known already. The French midfielder was previously linked to Arsenal but joined Manchester United. Manchester United's defence has very much improved. Morgan also represented the French National team and also, as far as i remember won BPL team of the season for 2014/15 (?). Now the bad news. What about Ander Herrera, Mata, Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick etc. Where do they fit on the jigsaw? I can't wait to find out how Louis Van Gaal might test out different formations during the preseason tour. Also i've heard people say: "Oh what about their strikers, Manchester United don't have any strikers!" Well when you have midfielders like this and this do you really need much strikers, all you need is Wayne Rooney! But at least for now, i am pretty sure that Louis Van Gaal won't spend £39.4 million without knowing how to use. I am really enjoying this window! Now, who's next?

MANCHESTER UNITED COMPLETE SIGNING OF DARMIAN!

Darmian has completed his move to Manchester United and is now officially a Manchester United player which could see Antonio Valencia or Rafael Da Silva leaving the football club. Darmian commented: "Its a dream come true to join Manchester United," and its a privilege to have such a versatile defender! Bastian Schweinsteiger is expected to have his medical today and complete his move to Manchester United.

Bastian Schweinsteiger ● Welcome to Manchester United the theatre of Dreams ● 2015 HD

MANCHESTER UNITED SIGN SCHWEINSTEIGER!

Manchester United have revealed on their instagram account (@manchesterunited) saying:"#mufc has reached an agreement to sign Bastian Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich, subject to a medical and personal terms. A further announcement will be made when the process is complete." The news was also announced on the Manchester United twitter page at @ManUtd. The signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger will see Louis Van Gaal united back again with the legendary midfielder. He is an identical player to Michael Carrick and i can't wait to see this German International play alongside him. The Bayern Munich player represented the Germany squad in the World Cup last season and is a classy midfielder. This a dream come true for Manchester United as we've been linked with him over the years and finally he has joined and will play at the Theatre of Dreams, Old Trafford. No one believed this would happen, even Rio Ferdinand made a video explaining that this will never happen and now look!

REAL MADRID DROPPING INTEREST IN DE GEA?

It seems as if Real Madrid are looking for alternatives to David de Gea after they have built interest in Espanyol's Spanish keeper Kiko Casilla. No one really knows whether the Manchester United keeper will depart the football
club. However we do understand that Real Madrid are desperate for a fresh keeper in replacement of Iker Casillas who is advancing in age and is poor in form. Therefore Real Madrid could even drop all interests in David d Gea and sign Casilla a quicker and cheaper option.

MATTEO DARMIAN | Goals, Skills, Assists | WELCOME TO MANCHESTER UNITED! | 2014/2015 (HD)

"HE'S ON HIS WAY TO MANCHESTER" - LOUIS VAN GAAL

Louis Van Gaal revealed regarding the transfer of Matteo Darmian: "I have read it in the papers and it is true." However when pressed about Robin Van Persie to Fenerbahce the Manchester United manager refused to reveal how the move is proceeding.
Regarding the transfer of Robin Van Persie to the Turkish club it seems as if the two clubs are negotiating or Manchester United have maybe rejected a bid from them. That evidence is found in Fenerbache's twitter account where they commented: "Fenerbahce has  begun transfer talks with Robin Van Persie and his club Manchester United. So he definitely has not joined the club! Okay!
Anywho back to the the good news,

1. Darmian is described as "an extraordinary player who will want try and win the Champions League one day."

2. Darmian hasn't suffered from an injury since 2010/11 so he won't add to the injury crisis!

3. He can play as a defender in both LB and RB and even CB! He is also very very pacey at times and does extraordinary going forward and also defensively.

4. He was the 1st eleven for Italy when they beat England 2-1 last year in the World Cup, he took advantage of England's Danny Welbeck and put pressure upon Leighton Baines and assisted the winning goal which was scored by Mario Balotelli.

I can't wait to see this player on the Right flank with Luke Shaw on the Left flank! Lethal.

RUMOURS TRUE OR FALSE?

1. Robin Van persie to Fenerbahce - I think this is false, Louis Van Gaal is a massive fan of Robin Van Persie, they're from the same land, he fits Van Gaal's philosophy and he Louis Van Gaal even used him as captain in the World Cup for the Netherlands
National Team last year finishing in 3rd place. Louis Van Gaal would not let this player go and with lesser of strikers it doesn't seem like Manchester United would want to blow them all away! And although he hasn't had the best of seasons, i still think that he has made a few differences in some key games and has scored some remarkable and very important goals last season.
2. Di Maria stupid swap deals! This is just stupid journalism. Angel Di Maria has had a tough season and you can't really blame that all upon him. The winger from Argentina who recently arrived from Real Madrid last season a few months ago had his house robbed so it would've put a lot of pressure upon his family and media and his gameplay. Di Maria is not going to PSG but yes they were interested in buying him before he made his departure to Manchester United, but he is proud to be a Manchester United player and to wear the shirt!

MANCHESTER UNITED TO SIGN DARMIAN?

Previously this summer Nathaniel Clyne was linked to Manchester United, but i didn't see him as a Manchester United player, in my opinion i viewed him as overrated. He then signed for Liverpool, ofcourse,

but i wasn't bothered because i would have wanted right backs such as Mattia De Sciglio or Matteo Darmian who has been previously linked with Manchester United. When i saw reports from BBC and Sky Sports that Matteo Darmian has accepted personal terms with Manchester United, i was ecstatic! Anyways enough of story time! Matteo Darmian has accepted personal terms with Manchester United and with his agent, but according to Sky Italia, Serie A club "Torino have asked 20 million Euros  and are waiting for the final "Ok" from United." Manchester United have been using alternatives to fill that RB role such as Antonio Valencia and lack of playing time with Rafael seems as if he is on his way out and Louis Van Gaal will be looking for a replacement. Matteo Darmian fills in that missing role and is a versatile defender.

LUIS NANI SIGNS FOR FENERBAHCE

Luis Nani has apparently completed departure from Manchester United to Fenerbahce and will undergo medical on Sunday. The Portuguese winger spent last season on loan at Sporting Lisbon the club start of his career. And it seems as if whether or not these reports are true that Louis Van Gaal is not looking to use Luis Nani in his starting XI. 

LATESTS ON OTAMENDI

It has been quiet on the Otamendi front since Manchester United have started pursuit in Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos. However the defender still requires a move. According to ESPN, the Argentineans agent has insisted that Nicolas Otamendi "will not sign for Real Madrid this summer." Manchester United could be on their way to sign new and fresh defenders from the Liga
BBVA.
