Manchester United are once again linked with Dutch international and Bayern Munich playmaker Arjen Robben. Will they be able to finally lure him? Only time will tell.
According to British media outlet Mirror, the Red Devils are ready to sign Robben from the German champions where he is currently unhappy with his situation.
Louis van Gaal knows all about the qualities of his compatriot and can advantage of the scenario to lure Arjen to Old Trafford.
Robben has mainly been injured this season but has returned to full fitness. Still, his starting place is not guaranteed in the presence of Douglas Costa who has established himself in the Bayern XI.
As far as Man United supporters are concerned, there are different reactions to this transfer rumor. Some fans are excited about the prospect of securing such a quality playmaker and others think he is past his best. Here are a few reactions on twitter.

Huge fan of Robben. He’s still one of the best around but his injury record would be a concern, especially at his age. — Joe (@JoeTmufc) November 15, 2015
