6 players that will help in Louis van Gaal's Manchester United transformation

Louis van Gaal- Manchester United’s manager designate

Louis Van Gaal is yet to be announced as the new manager of Manchester United as he is just on the final stage of signing in a deal with the club. The Netherlands coach has already made his preparations for his arrival at Old Trafford and is planning to bring the team back to glory.

The 62 year old is keen to transform the team and has already set his sights on certain players whom he wants to land in at United. He wants to do big at Manchester United and wants to take them out of this crisis like situation. And for that he has clearly stated that he wants a prolific team to move ahead.

He has a list of nearly 6 summer targets whom he wants to make a summer move to Manchester United. These players are:

1. Edinson Cavani:

PSG striker Edinson Cavani has expressed displeasure at playing second fiddle to Ibrahimovic

Edinson Cavani has been long linked to Manchester United and Van Gaal is also keen to have him at the club. Though Cavani had moved to PSG in last summer transfer window only, but the former Napoli man is unsettled there and wants a move out.

Likely Transfer Value: $55 million- $70 million

2. Mats Hummels:

Mats Hummels could fill in the void left by Vidic and Ferdinand

The German International is believed to be keen choice of the Dutchman. After the departure of Vidic and Ferdinand from United, the CB position needs a strong face and Dortmund powerhouse Mats Hummels would be the right choice to fit in there.

Like Transfer Price: $30 million to $45 million

3. Luke Shaw:

Luke Shaw could become the second most expensive full-back in history if he leaves Southampton

Just 18 years of age, this man has performed stupendously for Southampton this year and various clubs including Manchester United have set their sights on this youngster. With Patrice Evra likely to leave the club due to contract clause, Shaw is the ideal choice at the LB position. Van Gaal is also quite impressed by the youngster.

Likely Transfer Price: $25 million – $35 million

4. Toni Kroos:

Toni Kroos’ contract situation at Bayern Munich means he could leave

When Manchester United faced Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, rumors started flowing in that Toni Kroos will likely sign for Manchester United in the summer transfers and since then he has been on the radar of Manchester United. His style of play has also impressed Van Gaal and reportedly he has asked the board to splash a move for the German quickly.

Likely Transfer Price: $35 million – $50 million

5. Kevin Strootman:

Kevin Strootman is an integral part of Van Gaal’s Netherlands setup and could make a move to the Premier League

The Roma guy is a preferred choice for Van Gaal as he coaches him in the Netherlands team as well and is well aware of his abilities. Reportedly, Manchester United have made in their first move for the midfielder also.

Likely Transfer Price: $20 million – $30 million

6. William Carvalho:

William Carvalho has stated several times that he is looking to leave Sporting

The Sporting midfielder has become a target of various clubs after his fantastic form this season. Van Gaal is also keen to have the 22 year old at the CDM position at the club.

Likely Transfer Price: $20 million – $30 million

With all of this one thing is clear, Van Gaal is planning in a big revolution for the club when he joins them and wants to take them to big heights and restore their pride. Manchester United is likely going to get around $200 million this time as transfer budget, so big deals are achievable for the club. Many stars are expected to leave the red devils by the summer this year as well. So, new signings will surely be a big priority for Van Gaal. It not just that Manchester United is going to get a new manager, but they are virtually getting a new team as well.
