Barcelona are supposedly in favour of Manchester United signing Cesc Fabregas as they failed to qualify for the Champions League last season. Reports are suggesting that the Red Devils have move ahead of the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, and I think Old Trafford would be the best option for the Spain international. Here’s why.
We are now just a week from the World Cup and a little more for the first England game. The Three Lions will take on Italy in their first game next Saturday, and a former international midfielder has warned Roy Hodgson’s men about the potential danger man.
Chelsea secured a £12m deal for France U21 defender Kurt Zouma back in January and will be looking forward to him arriving at Stamford Bridge in the next few months. The Saint-Etienne centre-half had the pick of a couple of clubs, according to reports, but turned them down to work with Jose Mourinho. Manchester United were one of the clubs he rejected, and I think he was right to do so.
After such a dismal season under David Moyes, you’d think that there would be little chance of new boss Louis van Gaal singing the praises of the former Everton boss. Well, according to the Mirror, the Netherlands first team coach has apparently thanked him for the way he handled the injury of Robin van Persie – his star man at this summer’s World Cup.
Louis van Gaal has told the Manchester United board that he wants four players to have signed on the dotted line before he arrives at Old Trafford this summer. The Netherlands boss has supposedly given the club a list of names that he wants in United colours before he returns from World Cup duty, so here are the candidates and whether or not I think they should be signed.
Cesc Fabregas must be rubbing his hands together right now. The Barcelona midfielder may be leaving one of the biggest clubs in Europe, and probably the world, but he apparently has a small army of clubs looking to sign him. Arsenal and Chelsea are both said to be interested, but reports suggest that it is Manchester United leading the way.
Reports suggest that new Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was close to joining Tottenham before he landed the job at Old Trafford. Here are three reasons why he was right to reject the north London side for his new northern home.
Being a Manchester United fan, I am naturally excited about the season ahead having witnessed the garbage served up last season. We now have the chance to restore our reputation under Louis van Gaal but we need a complete overhaul in my opinion. Here is how I would start that transition if I was in charge.
