Man Utd Transfers: 6 Deals Van Gaal Could Do Today

1. Memphis Depay

Van Gaal might have Angel Di Maria, Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie as major attacking outlets, but it has become very obvious already that they need more options. Di Maria will need time to settle as the manager has suggested, Van Persie can't be relied on solely, Mata looks miscast and Rooney has looked lost for 18 months. And one option he already knows very well would be Memphis Depay, the PSV forward who is central to his side's successes, and who is very much destined to become a major European star. He is Holland's biggest potential star, had a very promising World Cup and has already scored five goals in his first league appearances, and while expectations are high, they probably aren't wrong. He may have just signed a four-year contract and said he wants to stay, but money talks, especially in Holland, and if Depay really wants to stay in Holland, United might do well to buy him and let him do just that on loan. In doing that, United steal a march on their inevitable contenders for Depay's attention. Which deals would you most like to see United do today? Share your thoughts below in the comments thread.
