Midfield:
Assuming van Gaal sticks with his current formation, using a five-man midfield, there could be as many as three new arrivals to join this summer’s signings of Angel Di Maria and Ander Herrera. On the right-hand side, Cristiano Ronaldo would be a welcome return to the club after five years with Real Madrid, while Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal and AS Roma playmaker Kevin Strootman are also still top targets after United missed out on them both in this year’s transfer window. These three players could cost around £130m in total, and would likely be funded by the sales of the likes of Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini, who could still bring in decent transfer fees amid interest from Juventus and Napoli, respectively.
