Manchester United transfer news: Man United making £87.9m Gareth Bale offer

Combined with the potential move of David de Gea from Old Trafford to Santiago Bernabeu, there might be enough dialogue between the two European powers to make a blockbuster transfer happen. “When you hear of the money we are looking to pay for some players, I don’t understand why Bale hasn’t been the number one target, and why he wasn’t first choice when we brought in Di Maria in the first place”.

The Newcastle midfielder wants to play Champions League football for a Premiership outfit.

The Argentina global is reported to be in Paris and will undergo a medical on Monday before completing a move to PSG, just 12 months after joining United from Real Madrid.

Rumors began speculating near the end of last season, when De Gea seemed to have interest in moving back to Madrid, this time to play for Real Madrid.

The Spanish giants have already bought goalkeeper Kiko Casilla from Espanyol this summer however, meaning their negotiating position on signing De Gea has been strengthened, while Manchester United have also brought in a goalkeeping reinforcement in Sergio Romero. Nevertheless, Rafael by no means fairly crammed the footwear of Gary Neville underneath Sir Alex Ferguson, and his enjoying time beneath David Moyes and Van Gaal dwindled.

The prospect of keeping De Gea for another season may be less appealing to United if Van Gaal expresses a view that his state of mind is disruptive to his squad.

Di Maria’s spell at United started off promisingly, but his form soon deteriorated and he only started one of the final 10 games of last season.

United are keen to bolster their striking options after selling Robin van Persie and not renewing the loan deal of Radamel Falcao this summer. Once again though, I disagree. Rooney’s tally for the club is now 230 goals, 19 behind Bobby Charlton’s record. Some have instructed that the ahead in query would come from Actual Madrid, with both Cristiano Ronaldo or Bale.

That may be premature, but there is hope at Old Trafford that the 21-year-old Dutchman can provide an attacking spark to take United to the next level.

Wilson made a strong impression in the Premier League last season, making 17 appearances and netting twice.

The Premier League is a huge step up, though, and many players have struggled to deal with being labeled the so-called “Next Big Thing” at England’s most successful team.

The fear is that Van Gaal continues his ridiculous scepticism of Ander Herrera and removes him from the starting XI.

Manchester United looked at their best last season whenever they had Michael Carrick in front their defense.
