Manchester United to spend £200m on new signings

Robin Van Persie

Manchester will spend heavily to bring new faces to Old Trafford this summer according to striker Robin Van Persie. The transfer has opened slowly for United, as the club have made only one major signing in Memphis Depay.

Last season United spent over £150m on purchasing new players under Van Gaal’s debut season. Though the team achieved its minimum target of a Champions League spot, a lot still need to be put in place for the team to challenge for titles on home front and in Europe. Last season performance opened up the reasons why United must invest in the team again, especially in defence and at least on one striker, as United struggled for the goals last season.

Things may get complicated for United on the transfer front if as widely expected goalkeeper David De Gea departs, as the team may need to add the burden of getting another keeper to it’s already established needs of a number of decent signings.

But an insider, Dutch striker Van persie believes United will splash the cash once again, as they look to challenge for honors next season.

He told Manchester Evening News “United spent £200m on players and they are going to spend another £200m this summer so that we will have a team that can compete for the title.”

Manchester United target most likely to leave present club, advised to move to United

Schneiderlin

Southampton star midfielder Schneiderlin is “more likely to leave the club” according to club legend Le Tissier. The midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal in recent times, but over the last few days, news and rumor of a move to United have surfaced and intensified. Southampton held on to the midfielder last season, despite the mass exodus of their key players. But Le Tissier believes the saints may no longer be able to hold on to their star man. Le Tissier told Sky Sports “it’s probably more likely that he’ll leave than stay. The big question is whether a top four side meets his valuation."

The player recently voiced out his intention to play for a team playing in the Champions League. And with United almost qualifying, it remains to be seen if the move can happen.

Le Tissier also reckons that a united move would be beneficial to both the player and United. “Out of those sides, it is Manchester United that need him most as they require strengthening in that position. Schneiderlin is the sort of player they should be looking for, having proven over the last few seasons that he can mix it with the top sides. “

The legend also believes it’s a deal that may not cost United a fortune, “we paid about £1 million for him back in 2008 so with a couple of promotions and another decent transfer fee it certainly represents another good return.

“I think Southampton have always been fair with players and not stood in their way when bigger clubs have meet their valuation, which was shown last summer.”

Do you think United should go for and sign Schneiderlin?
