According to reports, Louis Van Gaal has told Manchester United to do whatever it takes in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Arjen Robben.
The current Dutch manager is set to take over at Old Trafford this Summer after they sacked David Moyes just 10-months into his six year contract, and Van Gaal is already making transfer plans and orders ahead of his arrival.
Although a formal announcement hasn’t been made as of yet by the club or the manager himself, it’s strongly believed that he will take over in Manchester after the World Cup in Brazil, and with Luke Shaw close to completing his move, and Kevin Strootman from AS Roma also linked, Van Gaal is keen to add Robben to the squad too.
The former-Chelsea winger has been superb for Bayern Munich in recent years and Van Gaal is keen to link up with him at club level as well as international level, and it’s thought he has told the board to do whatever it takes in signing him.
United believe they could snap up the 30-year-old for around £25million, and they are also willing to offer him more than his current £160k-a-week deal in Germany.
