Louis Van Gaal eyes Bundesliga raid
The Red Devils are close to signing two of Borussia Dortmund’s biggest stars this summer.
Mats Hummels and Ilkay Gundogan are reported to be on Manchester United‘s transfer target list.
United have been linked with the two German’s for a while, especially Hummels and Louis Van Gaal is said to be a big fan of the two players.
Summer Activity
Van Gaal has already moved quickly in the transfer window after signing Memphis Depay from PSV Eindhoven in a deal worth around £25million, but his attentions are now on firming up the spine of United.
The Dutchman wants to bring in a new centre-back in order to strengthen the back-line after injuries and poor performances forced the manager to rely on youths for a lot of the season.
United’s defence was visibly wobbly during the early stages of the campaign, and Van Gaal is desperate to add Hummels to his side so that he can lead the back-four and improve them as a unit.
As for Gundogan, he has already told Dortmund about his plans to leave the club once his contract expires, and United are favourites to land him as they eye a strong centre-midfield.
The German is rumoured to have already agreed terms with United and Hummels is also close to joining his current team mate at Old Trafford in the summer.
The two Dortmund stars would cost United £48.5 million combined.
