It will be fair to say that Louis van Gaal has wasted two transfer windows and could not fix the two weakest departments of Manchester United.
United’s midfield and defense were a major problem when the Dutch manager was appointed manager of the club.
However, even after spending heavy amounts of cash and signing many players, the midfield and defensive dilemma has not been solved and the positions need top quality players in the summer window.
According to reports, the Red Devils are looking to secure a massive deal by hiring the services of Valencia duo, Nicolas Otamendi and Andre Gomes.
As per the provided link, Manchester United are in contact to complete 74 million pounds deal for the mentioned players.
27 year old Argentine central defender Otamendi is one of the best defenders in La Liga and has impressed big time this season. Valencia have only conceded 20 goals in 23 league games thus far and much of the credit goes to Otamendi.
United can have an all Argentine center back pairing if Otamendi arrives with Marcos Rojo already there.
21 year old central midfield star Andre Gomes has been influential as well. The Portuguese international is a creative presence in midfield and has scored 2 goals as well.
Otamendi and Gomes are key players for Valencia and for now Spanish side is in the top 4 hoping to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
The price may as well be very high, but United must splash the cash to finally secure quality stars and end the defensive and midfield problems.

Its time show the door to LVG — he is not the right man for Manu…After spending 150 million pounds yet he cannot manage the CLUB I think even if he buys Ronaldo, Bale, and other top world player MANU will still be the same, he’s stubborn and arrogant and always think highly of himself that his coaching is perfect.
