Van Gaal is also interested in Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann. However, the France international has a contract running until 2020, and a massive release clause according to the Daily Express.
During the last campaign the 24-year-old scored 22 goals in 37 La Liga matches, and also has the ability to play across the front line. This may be enticing to Louis van Gaal, who regularly makes his team switch formation.
Lastly the Red Devils are looking in to Napoli ace Gonzalo Higuain, who has also been linked to Arsenal [Metro]. The Argentina international managed 18 goals and seven assists in 37 Serie A appearances last season, despite playing in an underperforming side. Their inability to qualify for the Champions League also means that the player may be interested in a move to Old Trafford.
