According to The Manchester Evening News, Louis
van Gaal has targeted a host of the world's best attacking talent including Neymar, Cristiano
Ronaldo and Gareth
Bale.
Harry Kane and Thomas Muller are also on his wish list of players
to provide some spark to his United side.
United
are also planning a sensational £65 million swoop for Eden
Hazard.
According
to The Daily Star, United
will
turn to the reportedly-unsettled Belgium international after being told
they stand no chance of landing their No 1 target - Real Madrid's Bale.
We
are told United are 'poised to do battle with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern
Munich' for the playmaker in what could be the summer's biggest transfer scrap.
A United source is even
quoted as saying: "The club has to be realistic and realise that signing
Gareth Bale or Cristiano Ronaldo remains a long shot, which means alternative
targets come into the equation.
"Eden
Hazard is certainly one of those and the type of player United need if they
want to start winning trophies again."
United's
supposed offer to Hazard is thought to be worth around £250,000-a-week. If the
Belgian does leaves Stamford Bridge, reports suggest Chelsea will swoop for
Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
United
are also ready to test Everton's resolve to keep £40 million-rated striker Romelu
Lukaku.
So says The Daily Mirror after Lukaku plundered 12 goals in his
last 12 games in all competitions to take his season's total to 19.
United
apparently looked at Lukaku last summer, but Louis van Gaal ultimately decided
against lodging an official bid for the Belgium international.
However,
with goals in short supply for United this season, Lukaku is back on their
radar - although Everton are certain to resist their advances.
Meanwhile,
United are pursuing young Benfica midfielder Renato Sanches,
according to reports in Portugal.
Harry Redknapp says his
former charge Bale could end up moving to Old Trafford.
"Gareth
Bale leaving Real Madrid for Manchester United could happen. I just get a
feeling that somebody over here is driving that move," he told TheLondon Evening Standard.
"I don't know if he
will come back but the United move makes a lot of sense, and all that talk has
to be coming from somewhere."
The
rumours suggesting Bale will move to Old Trafford intensified this week after
Rafael Benitez was sacked as Real Madrid manager.
WHERE DO MAN UTD NEED TO STRENGTHEN THIS TIME?
