The previous United manager had put in a lot of the groundwork to try and make this big-money deal happen this summer, however, the Scot’s sudden sacking on Tuesday morning is not expected to stop the Red Devils from trying to lure the highly rated young Germany international from the Allianz Arena to Old Trafford when the summer transfer window reopens for business.
In fact, the appointment of such a successful and well-known manager as Van Gaal to replace Moyes should actually improve the Premier League champions’ chances of landing the 24-year-old for next season, especially as the pair worked together during the Dutchman’s time in charge of the Bavarians.
