Old Trafford side set for renewed push in the transfer window before it closes next Monday night.
This summer has already proven an expensive one for a Man United side desperate to turn their ship around after a disastrous spell during David Moyes’s time at the helm and new manager Louis van Gaal has been well backed in the transfer market but his work in this regard may not be done yet.

The Old Trafford side have already signed Ander Herrera (£29m), Luke Shaw (£27m), Marcos Rojo (£16m) and Angel di Maria (£59.7m), which brings the Premier League side’s spending to a whopping £129m but there are three other players who could still be brought in before the transfer window slams shut on Monday night.
Arturo Vidal £34m
The Chilean has been on the Old Trafford radar for weeks and some sources claim that the 27 year old has already agreed a big money contract with the Premier League side.
A move for the playmaker would certainly offer Louis van Gaal a fresh option in the final third and a real goal threat to boost his Man United attack.
Vidal has scored 28 goals in 95 Serie A appearances and could be open to a Turin exit following the departure of boss Antonio Conte earlier this summer.
Daley Blind £18m
Ajax utility man can play in a number of roles both across the defence as well as in a defensive midfield slot and is a player Louis van Gaal knows well from his time in charge of the Dutch national team.
24 year old Blind has won four successive Eredivisie titles and is almost certainly ready, willing and able to make a step up to a ‘bigger’ club this summer and could be a great addition to hand Man United strength in depth in a myriad of positions.
Nigel de Jong £10m
The AC Milan would provide some bite to the Man United midfield and protection for his back-line and de Jong’s previous Man City affiliation is unlikely to be a concern to Louis van Gaal.
The lack of an out and out defensive midfield presence led David Moyes to use Marouane Fellaini in a holding role, a move that backfired in a big way, and de Jong is perhaps the ideal man to fill such a role.
The 29 year old is hugely experienced, a player van Gaal knows well, a dependable cost effective option to consider.
