Manchester United Rumour Roundup: Vidal Still Open To United Move, But LVG Lines Up Guarin As Alternative

Saturday’s Manchester United transfer rumour gossip.

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is set to step up his efforts in signing Fredy Guarin after the club’s intended move for Arturo Vidal stalled yet again, according to the Daily Star.

Van Gaal is desperate to land the combative midfielder but chief executive Ed Woodward’s efforts have yet to come to fruition because of Juventus’ reluctance to sell the Chile international.

However, Arturo Vidal has hinted that his future is away from Juventus after refusing to rule out completing a switch to Manchester United, the Metro reports.

Vidal has been linked with United for most of the window so far, with the protracted deal becoming this summer’s big transfer saga.

Frank De Boer insists Ajax have not received any bids for Manchester United target Daley Blind, but has revealed the player will be allowed to leave the club if the price is right, the Daily Star reports.

New United boss Louis Van Gaal has made the capture of Blind top priority this summer after the 24-year-old starred under his leadership at the World Cup.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is not concerned by the club’s lack of progress in the transfer market, according to Goal.com.

The Red Devils have so far only signed Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw this summer, despite their interest in the likes of Arturo Vidal, Mats Hummels and Angel Di Maria.

Sporting Lisbon have accused an unnamed club of resorting to underhand tactics to negotiate a transfer with Manchester United target Marcos Rojo, according to the Metro.

The Red Devils were thought to have made a £16m offer for the Argentina international’s services recently, with the player attempting to force a move to England by handing in a transfer request and reportedly refusing to train with the Portuguese club.
