New Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has a big job on his hands if he is to successfully rebuild a Manchester United side still reeling from their worst Premier League season ever. United finished seventh last season, missing out on the Champions League and even the Europa League, meaning they will not be competing in Europe for the first time in 25 years. David Moyes consequently lost his job after just 10 months and was this week replaced by van Gaal, who has ambitiously targeted Premier League glory in his first season in charge. In order to achieve this, United's board have entrusted the Dutchman with a club-record transfer warchest with the Old Trafford giants set for their busiest summer in the market on record. Various figures and budgets have been flying around but the general consensus appears to be that van Gaal will have somewhere in the region of £200 million to spend on new players. The disappointments of the last summer window - in which Marouane Fellaini was the club's only new addition on transfer deadline day - will surely not be repeated this year with an unprecedented flurry of activity anticipated at United. And with £200 million burning a hole in his pocket, here we take a look at 9 players Louis van Gaal could spend his wonga on. But how far does £200 million stretch? Click 'Next' to find out.
