Red Devils have been handed major boost in pursuit of Chilean and Juventus Midfielder Arturo Vidal.
The former Bayer Leverkusen has been a long term target of Manchester United. Lately, even Louis van Gaal himself admired the versatile midfielder and claimed that he tried to sign him.
Signing him is easier said than done but for now, according to reports, the player himself hinted at a move away from Juventus and refused to commit future.
Vidal claimed:
“Will I stay at Juventus? I do not know, I just think about the World Cup and the national team now,”
“After the World Cup we will see what will be my future”
The Chilean was influential in the opening two games of the World Cup as South Americans knocked World and European Champions out of the competition.
United have a reported transfer kitty of £200m while Vidal is rated around £38m so that price tag should not be a problem for the Old Trafford side.
Capable of playing anywhere in the midfield, United will have to face competition for other top clubs as well.
Last season, Vidal directly contributed in 24 goals for Juventus (18 goals, 6 assists) in 46 appearances.
In other news, the Juventus star is not the only Chilean Man United are interested in signing. Barcelona star Alexis Sanchez is also linked with a move to Old Traffod.

In a weeks time you will hear of Man United closing in on him. Then after the world cup you will hear him say he was never interested in the move and he loves being in Turin with Juventus with a manager he loves. Hope I didn’t spoil the ending for everybody but that is how it will end. I suggest we move on from now and hope that Ed Woodword is actually looking at great key word ATTAINABLE players to join up with Man United not just the best players for specific teams, that is just a ludicrous way of getting players and will be a target for greedy experienced agents to use to get better deals for their clients. I could care less about Marquee signings, that just tells me they will be very expense. There are so many good players on the planet that can be turned into greater players under the right manager, like we have now. If our scouting is up to par we can find that talent. Very annoyed with being linked (by papers of course) to players like Kroos, Vidal and Bastian., there are other younger hungry players out there that could do a better job if given the chance and in all honesty we should have signed them by now.
Sign players like Memphis depay,James rodriguez,Ricardo rodriguez,Anders herrera,Dele alli.my point is buy youngsters and mould them into legends and make possible the impossible dream.
I think Darren Gibson, who is now at Wigan or Stoke would be a great player and at a price of 25 m would be great business.
I think Paul pogba would love coming to Manchester United. He’s done Italian footy with juventus and would love to try England . Every players dream to play for Man U . I heard he was quoted’ it would be a dream to play for mighty Utd , I wish I’d played there at their academy as I’ve heard it’s the best’ I’m sure he’ll come as he’s gone stale at juve, we might get him for 4 mil plus fletcher
Paul p0gba is a g00d player,but it was never giving the chance,because he was never given d chance t0 pr0ve himself ,he c0uld have s0lve dis mid field pr0blem,after saling him f0r pinut,we want him back,we still have g00d players in united,n0w we want t0 buy alexis sanchez,when we have y0ung talent,dat m0yes refuse t0 used and was l0an t0 cardiff,just buy defenders and midfieder and 4get abt wingers united,please buyer players n0w!bec after d w0rld cup,it will be difficult,and prize tag will increase…
I wonder every day you here much of utd transferred rumors but no any of our target been confirmed at the end we end off without a single signing like we did last season. Lol.
