Man Utd to splash the cash on three World Cup winners – one deal as good as done.
Manchester United could be about to spend an incredible £105m before the end of the summer, with Louis van Gaal setting his sights on three World Cup winners to add to his squad.
With the Red Devils hoping to establish themselves as serious Premier League title challengers next season, they could benefit from adding these experienced names to their largely youthful squad.

All three of these stars have also won the Champions League in their superbly successful careers, and would represent great buys for big-spending United, who also spent £150m last summer.
The trio in Van Gaal’s sights are as follows:
1) Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)
For around £50m, United are being linked with a hugely exciting move to sign Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller, who was a 2012/13 treble winner with the Bavarian giants, and also played a huge role in Germany winning the World Cup last summer.

2) Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid)
Another World Cup winner with Spain in 2010, Sergio Ramos is also a £40m target for United this summer after deciding to quit Real Madrid due to a contract dispute. The towering centre-back will likely be involved in the swap deal for David de Gea, despite being linked with Chelsea earlier in the summer.
3) Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich)
Already on his way in a £15m deal that is subject only to the completion of a medical, Bayern Munich star Bastian Schweinsteiger completes the trio of World champions that could be moving to Old Trafford ahead of the new season.
