Manchester United had a huge transfer kitty in the summer window and Van Gaal used heavy funds to sign top talent as well.
However, the Dutch manager was unable to reinforce one of the departments that led to Moyes’ downfall at Old Trafford i.e. defense.
Former captain Nemanja Vidic was past his best and same goes for another legendary center back Rio Ferdinand who currently plays for QPR.
Louis van Gaal could not do much to replace such leaders of defense as Marcos Rojo was brought in for CB position even though he was more effective for Argentina as a left back.
Nevertheless, United once again have a huge transfer kitty for the winter window according to reports and want to sign €61m Mats Hummels on priority basis.
As per the provided link, United are also eager to secure Roma’s Strootman and Southampton’s Clyne but can wait for the summer for them. However, they want Hummels to join this month.
Signing Hummels in mid season is easier said than done, United are in a decent position to qualify for next season’s Champions League while Dortmund are struggling in Germany.
Still, Kaisers did qualify for the KO rounds of the CL and there can be a possibility that Hummels as captain would want to help his side for the remainder of the season and move in summer.
Taking into consideration United need a world class central defender desperately in this transfer window to improve their back line and take away some burden from David de Gea, they should splash the above mentioned amount to tempt Dortmund to sell.
Also, they must make a tempting offer to Hummels as well because come summer many top clubs will be back to lure him as well.
