New Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal may have been somewhat occupied this summer, masterminding the Netherlandss run to the World Cup semi-final and helping them finish 3rd, but hes still ensured United have remained competitive in the transfer window back home, sanctioning the £60 million double swoop for Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera. And, now that van Gaals commitments to the Dutch national side are at an end, his next task will be to bring yet more players in at Old Trafford as he looks to rebuild the Red Devils following a bitterly disappointing season under David Moyes that saw the side finish seventh. According to reports, United are looking into the possibility of signing Juventuss all-purpose midfielder Arturo Vidal, who impressed at the World Cup finals with Chile. A £40 million bid is apparently in the offering, while van Gaal has previously spoken of his admiration for the player. Theres little doubting that Uniteds midfield is in need of some cosmetic surgery this summer, following the clubs worst league finish since the Premier Leagues inception in 1992, and the statistics seem to suggest the Chilean could be the perfect man to carry the Red Devils forward under van Gaals new era. Here, we take a look at 6 reasons why Man Utd must sign Arturo Vidal.
