Premier League Transfer Gossip: Arturo Vidal, Angel Di Maria & Mats Hummels To Join Manchester United As Shinji Kagawa, Marouane Fellaini & Nani To Leave
Manchester United and their new boss Louis Van Gaal have been hinting for a long while that they'd make many changes this summer, with both new transfers coming in to the club, and current squad members being sold. The new coach wants to work with a smaller squad than usual, particularly with no UEFA Champions League football to worry about. United are still hopeful of signing Arturo Vidal, Angel Di Maria and Mats Hummels, but they will sell Shinji Kagawa, Marouane Fellaini and Nani to balance the books. Read below to find out more Premier League transfer gossip.
The likes of Kagawa, Fellaini and Nani, plus many others, aren't considered good enough for Van Gaal's squad, and despite having money to spend, he wants to clear out the unwanted players, providing the club with somewhat of a much needed spark. United are struggling to sign Vidal, Di Maria and Hummels, but none of these deals are dead, and by selling players, they can raise their wages, or even add the players to deals to please the teams that own the talents they desire.
Elsewhere, Chelsea are hoping to sell veterans Petr Cech and Fernando Torres. Could another EPL side take their valuable experience on board? It would be a great buy if they could. Chelsea have been looking to, like United, freshen their squad up, so these sales would reduce the aggregate age, and possibly help them push on towards their goals.
Are United and Chelsea making the right changes, and can they challenge for the EPL title this season?
