If there is one man who can replace the legendary Manchester United defenders like Vidic and Ferdinand, then that is Borussia Dortmund’s Mats Hummels.
Louis van Gaal is a huge admirer of the German international and the Red Devils have been pursuing him for some time now.
The latest news brings a major boost for the premier league club as far as signing Mats Hummels is concerned.
According to Express, Hummels is set for Manchester United move as now Barcelona have confirmed that they are chasing the signature of Valencia defender Jeremy Mathieu.
The 25 year old World Cup winner with Germany is one of the best central defenders in the world and was arguably the best defender of the World Cup making every team of the tournament for his brilliant performances.
Without doubt, Hummels signing will be a world class addition to Manchester United’s defender that will help solve the dilemma of last season.
Under Moyes, United were fragile at the back and collapsed many a times against weaker oppositions.
Van Gaal on the other hand knows his defensive tactics well and as shown in the World Cup, Netherlands were brilliant at the back. Hence, the Dutch manager can get the best out of a strong defender in Hummels.
Klopp has already lost Lewandowski to Munich and his two top players in Reus and Hummels are also linked with a move away from the club.
As per the provided Express link, €25 million should be enough to lure the Dortmund star.

If there’s a signing Man United should pursue with all they have is this one. Mats Hummels is rock solid…a better, wiser version of Namaja Vidic
Get him on the team. 25mio is more than worth it for his standard. And he is only 25 years of age..
I’d like Hummels, he’s better than Vermaelen, but i’ll bet that this is just another pathetic and heartbreaking transfer saga, these transfer saga’s make me lose love for Man Utd, transfer saga’s in the past, Vidal, David Villa, Schweinsteiger, Robben, Ribery, Fabregas Sergio Ramos, James Rodriguez in 2010, signed Bebe instead, Neuer, Dani Alves, Thiago Alcantara, Ander Herrera in 2013. John Obi Mikel, the list goes for so long i’ll be sitting here for hours writting this comment. There is a wierd curse on top of Old Trafford every transfer window. There is 42% of Man Utd transfers being flops such as Fellaini, Bebe, Anderson, Hargreaves, Veron, and even our Ed Woodward is a flop he cant sign top players exept for Mata, Sherlock, Herrera.
Guys its really hard being a Man Utd fan in this period of time….we’ve been linked with all kinds of players this summer yet, none has been signed…I choose not to listen to them anymore..but one thing is for sure, Woodward and his staff are working tirelessly to sign players that would make us stronger.
Van Gaal said he wouldn’t be signing any players for another 4 weeks in order to have a chance to work with the existing squad. Well if he thinks other clubs are going to just sit there and ward off all other offers from other interested clubs then let them waltz in pick off their top stars just before the new season starts he’s nuts!
Bad feeling about this I have!
Honestly as world class coach LVG shoud have watched Man United and assessed the type of players he would need unless he wants to tell us he will wait even for “crumbs” as he will have no option then.
