'Hummels, Clyne, Pogba...' Van Gaal told his Manchester United transfer targets ... by a fan
Attending an event for the club's charity foundation, the Dutchman was handed a dossier on priority signings by one keen supporter and says that glory will surely follow
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal can have no excuse for not having a productive close-season this summer after he was handed a list of juicy transfer targets by a fan.
The Dutchman was in attendance on Monday as the club's Manchester United Foundation Dream Day brought supporters with life-limiting illnesses to meet the manager and players at their training ground.
One such fan had printed out a dossier on high-quality players to improve the team with a view to reclaiming the Premier League title next season, and told Van Gaal "I did some homework for you" as he handed it over.
The United boss read out the names - including the likes of Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale, former Red Devils youngster Paul Pogba and PSV up-and-comer Memphis Depay - before telling the fan: "I take it in mind ... you are smart and a very cheap manager."
The list included prices to prise away the targets from their current clubs. "[Mats] Hummels, £36 million," Van Gaal noted, "[Nathaniel] Clyne of Southampton, £15m ... Pogba, £75m ... Bale, £12m ... and Jackson Martinez of Porto, £25m. He didn't tell me who I have to sell but, after a little bit of pushing, I know so it's easy for me. Next year, we are champions!"
"It was really nice of him to do that," the aspiring scout enthused, having also been given a signed shirt and taken a photo with goalkeeper David de Gea. "It was like a dream come true."
