Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is expected to face his toughest test thus far in the World Cup when the team collides with Chile for top spot.
The Dutch manager is an admirer of two top Chilean players both of which are linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer.
Players in discussion are Juventus’ Arturo Vidal and Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez. For now the focus is on the Catalan star.
Sanchez is highly expected to leave Barcelona in the upcoming transfer window and clubs like Liverpool, Juventus and Manchester United are eager to lure the versatile attacker.
According to reports, Van Gaal is hoping to make £20m star as his first signing for Manchester United. Moreover, the Red Devils and Merseysiders have already held preliminary talks to sign Sanchez as well.
Now, Man United executive vice chairman Ed Woodward is responsible to complete the deal as Van Gaal has left the job of securing top targets for him.
Not to forget, Woodward miserably failed to lure top stars last summer for manager David Moyes even when United were not only offering Champions League football but were Champions of England.
After a season to forget, another failure in the summer transfer window will be disastrous for Manchester United as rivals have already started reinforcing their squads.
Ed Woodward cannot afford to fail Louis van Gaal but it is going to be a tougher task with United completely out of Europe.

The 2 chileans are wonderful. But I can only them to go for Artul,o Vidal of Chile and James Rodiriguez of Colombia. The two are wonderful players. If you include Alex Song as a defensive midfielder, Manchester United will be complete, ready for any challenge.
Signing of Alexi Sanchez should not be allowed to slip. Woodward should not slack as Man Utd is one of the greatest clubs in the world today. Therefore, any positive advise should be view as very imprtant.
