Manchester United transfer news
The Dutchman is keen to continue the big spending habits of last summer, which saw United bring in big names like Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw.
It now looks as though the Red Devils will adopt a similar approach this time around, with recent reports suggesting a whopping £80m could go on bringing in just two players from Tottenham Hotspur, along with another £50m on two players from major European giants…
1) Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
In a stunning £50m move, Manchester United have been linked with a bid to sign Harry Kane, with players like Nani, Javier Hernandez and Adnan Januzaj also being offered to Tottenham as part of the move. One of the best strikers in England in 2014/15, there’s no doubt the 21-year-old could be a big hit at Old Trafford.
2) Hugo Lloris (Tottenham Hotspur)
For a further £30m, United could also try to sign French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris from Spurs, though that will depend on how David de Gea’s situation resolves itself, with the Spaniard likely to make the move to Real Madrid in the coming months.
3) Ilkay Gundogan (Borussia Dortmund)
Away from the Premier League, United could look to Borussia Dortmund as they eye the signing of one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga – Ilkay Gundogan. The German international has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford and looks just what they need in the middle of the park.
4) Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
Finally, another £30m could go on signing Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who is believed to have held talks with United officials already this summer after doubts over his Bernabeu future.
