TEMPO.CO, Manchester - Louis van Gaal has finally hit his panic button after Manchester United suffered a humiliation in League Cup – sacked by relatively unknown MK Dons. The Dutchman has asked the board to purchase Arturo Vidal and Daley Blind.
Apparently for Van Gaal, it took him four goals against MK Dons to realize that he needs to add more power in his team. Van Gaal then asked CEO Ed Woodward to sign the player in less than 24 hours, given that summer transfer window is only days before closing.
However, signing both Vidal and Blind are not as easy as it seems, particularly when the two players are tagged with slightly nonsense price. Juventus, where Vidal plays, will likely to sell the Chilean midfielder for 30 million pounds. Dutch defender Danny Blind, now playing in Eredivisie with Ajax, is tagged half of Vidal.
Therefore, United fans began to throw skeptical tone, as the club has recently signed Angel Di Maria for 60 million pounds. Shall United end up signing the player, Van Gaal will be noted in history as the biggest spender of the season in Premier League.
