Man Utd Transfers: Predicting Louis van Gaal's First 10 Signings
2. Adam Lallana
It's perhaps little surprise that several Southampton players are being singled out for moves this summer given the terrific season the St Mary's club have enjoyed, and Adam Lallana could be joining teammate Luke Shaw in moving to United over the next couple of months. That's according to the Daily Star, who claims the midfielder is on van Gaal's wishlist with the player himself admitting he has some big decisions to make regarding his future and that he wants to be competing at the highest levels of the game. "I'm certainly ambitious. I want to one day play in the Champions League and compete for the Premier League title," admitted the playmaker in a recent interview. We could certainly offer Lallana the opportunity to win silverware in spite of our recent slump, which hopefully is short-term, however, at the time of writing it emerged that our rivals Liverpool have submitted an offer, meaning we would have to do battle with our old foes in order to secure the services of the Saints captain.
