Manchester United are said to be in a race against time to sign their main targets before they depart for America for their pre-season tour on Monday.
The Times writes today:
…the Manchester United manager finds himself in the midst of a period of frenzied wheeler-dealing in the transfer market.
And The Guardian:
Louis van Gaal believes he is in pole position to make a double move for Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin to strengthen Manchester United’s midfield as he prepares for the summer tour of the US.
Memphis
We do know that Memphis Depay, who was officially unveiled as a Manchester United player on Friday, will be in the squad for The States.
Matteo Darmian
He arrived in Manchester on Friday evening and will complete his medical this weekend before joining up with the touring party. The Guardian reports:
One player the manager is certain will arrive is Matteo Darmian. The Torino right-back, who is to cost an initial £12.9m, is due to have a medical. “Yes, I have read that in the papers,” said the manager. “That is true.”
Bastian Schweinsteiger
Despite the rumours dragging on for some time, the speed at which things have progressed has surprised most and, according to reports, there is now a very real possibility that the Germany legend will travel with Manchester United for the pre-season program in what could amount to a real coup for the club.
Morgan Schneiderlin
Some fans were concerned that the move for Schweinsteiger would end Manchester United’s interest in thew Frenchman. But it appears that the boss wants both.
So here is how Manchester United could line up for their first game against América in the International Champions Cup on 22nd July, bearing in mind that United could be without their Argentine contingent after their recent Copa America exertions.
Manchester United fans: a top team?
