Louis Van Gaal, Manchester United coach, is not only interested in "Mister" Ramos. He would also like to take Cristiano Ronaldo to Old Trafford as he told the BBC: "He’s the type of player we need. A great player, I like him a great deal. I can give you an example of players like him in Europe. Bayern Munich have Ribéry and Robben; Chelsea have Eden Hazard and Willian; Real Madrid have Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale; Barça have Neymar and Lionel Messi", pointed out the United coach.
Van Gaal contintued: "United fans want us to be able to compete with these teams. Ashley Young and Juan Mata had a great season, scoring goals and providing assists but in order to win the Champions League we need to sign a player who is explosive and creative. That’s why I hope that Angel Di María stays here, but I’m not sure how that will play out", continued Van Gaal.
Manchester United have signed defender Matteo Darmian (Torino), midfielders Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern) and Morgan Schneiderlin (Southampton), Memphis Depay (PSV) and goalkeeper Sergio Romero (Sampdoria) this summer, as well as selling Nani and Robin van Persie.
But Van Gaal says the squad is still "not my Manchester United". "We at Manchester United buy only players who can contribute to our level," said the Dutchman. "You can make a list of every player that you want. It is also difficult to select the players because you need the players, the club and the money, so it is not as easy as you think. "I want more players but it is not always possible", he concluded.
