MANCHESTER United can thank former manager David Moyes for reeling in the first big name of the Louis van Gaal era.
The much-maligned Moyes, who was dumped in April, actually agreed a deal to bring star German midfielder Toni Kroos to Old Trafford for $37 million earlier this year, according to The Daily Mail.
Putting the finishing touches on Moyes’s hard work will certainly be one of van Gaal’s easier jobs this off-season.
So, with Kroos and Luke Shaw, who has reportedly signed after Southampton agreed to a $50 million deal, now secured, van Gaal is turning his attentions to Arjen Robben and Borussia Dortmund centre half Mats Hummels.
But attracting the jewel of the Bundesliga crown - Thomas Muller - may prove more problematical.
Even though the 24-year-old has a self-confessed great relationship with van Gaal, it apparantly doesn’t mean he’ll necessarily end up at Old Trafford.
