Louis Van Gaal looks set for more big money business in the transfer market as Manchester United are reportedly in advanced talks with Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund over transfers of Angel Di Maria and Mats Hummels. 

Having spent around £60 million already on Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera, United are closing in on the signing of the duo, which could cost the Red Devils a staggering £75 million. Di Maria looks set to depart the Spanish capital as Carlo Ancelotti looks to free up funds to bid for World Cup hot shot James Rodriguez.

United are close to agreeing a £45 million deal for the Argentinian midfielder as Van Gaal looks to add some width to a United side that played very narrowly last season. Van Gaal is also looking to sure up his defence with talks with Dortmund ongoing for a deal that will see Mats Hummels arive at Old Trafford.

The deal for the centre back who is currently on World Cup duty with German could rise to around £30 million. The move for Hummels doesn’t come as a surprise as United have been well known admirers of the defender for a long time. They are also looking to fill the void left by the departures of Ferdinand and Vidic due to their contracts expiring with the former Premier League champions.

Van Gaal who is preparing for a semi final showdown with Argentina tonight is looking to wrap the deals up quickly so he can get his new look squad working together as quickly as possible. The Red Devils hope they can improve on a dismal seventh place finish last term.
