Van Gaal is still on the look out for improvements to his squad and a fresh batch of transfer rumours have just been unveiled today so on that note lets take a look at the stories now doing the rounds at Old Trafford.

Speaking to Catalunya Radio, Herrera said: “He’s a very demanding person, very forward and very honest, which I value a lot”.
“Van Gaal is trying something different at Manchester United and it is not quite suiting Rooney at the moment”.
“I recognise similarities between Louis van Gaal here and at Bayern Munich”. We have a normal relationship between a coach and player.
“It is not about October or November, it is about May”.
The ginger midfielder is a confirmed admirer of the Spaniard, describing him as the most impressive Manchester United signing of the previous campaign. But the Dutch wants more “pace on the wings”.

Regardless of how trivial his comments are it will be interesting to see how boss Louis van Gaal responds to what appears to be a question of his decision making by David De Gea. The match-going supporters have lately begun airing their grievances over the on-pitch product, and even the manager himself has admitted that his side lack pace in attack.
If league position were determined by goals, United would be in eighth place. The teenager is already a key player at Elland Road and is also linked with moves to Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.
United has conceded the fewest goals in the league this season, and much of that can be attributed to the superb defensive organization of the team.
It’s a very interesting analogy that famous United fans such as Terry Christian (of Channel 4’s The Word) make when they state if David Moyes had made the same progress as LVG he would have been hounded out by now.

But he’s had to wait for his opportunity to shine on the first-team stage at Old Trafford and Southgate believes United were right to show patience and keep faith in the player.
