CB targets:
Hummels, Otamendi, laporte are mentioned time and time again. Otamendi is even close to be agreed. Otamendi and smalling form a good CB pairing but not a great one but smalling has vastly improved after red against city. I welcome laporte too.

Midfield Targets:

Some people here argue that with Gundogan's injury United may end up with another Falcao or hargreaves. So do Vidal, he has recently recovered from knee injury. Strootman is a similar one.

So Vidal, Gundogan, Strootman out of the equation that leaves Nainoglan, pjanjic, Veratti, Schweinstieger, pogba as quality available options.

Pogba is impossible, Veratti next to impossible(but with Ancelotti who is a great admirer of Veratti now gone we may have a chance) that leaves Nainolgan, pjanjic and schweinstieger as realistic ones plus any other unknown ones and undiscussed ones on this site.

With LVG stated previously that he get players who fits his philosophy, We have to wait and see whether his philosophy fits premier league's nature or not.

RB targets:

Dani alves, clyne, coleman. i can't recall any other good RBs United are linked with.

United need defensive stability first and foremost. Dani alves is not good in defending.

Clyne and coleman both are attainable with right amount of money.

LW/RW targets:

Depay done deal though LVG asked fans to be patient with Depay.

Bale would be a great signing.

Bale and Shaw (or) Bale and Coleman on wings would be solid pairing. Bale would defend as well. With Old trafford loving him and his role model giggs around, there is no better place for him to go other that United. In madrid atleast they booed him, if he goes to Stamford bridge it will be dead silent with full house. In Etihad they will show him their half empty back.
With bale and Good defense in I am definite that United will challenge for title.

Strikers:

Cavani, Lacazette, benteke.

Cavani for 50M? bigger mistake that buying dimaria imo.

I will take benteke if other positions are of high quality.

{Ed004's Note - I'm hoping we see Di Maria with an attacking right back behind him and Bale with Shaw playing behind him. Gives both players the chance to drift inside were they both play their best football. Herrera will have the energy to cover Di Maria but need a replacement for Fellaini. I'm still hoping we get Gundogan}

Ed04 have to play depay with shaw and let bale roam in the middle

{Ed004's Note - Against the weaker sides in the premiership we could play all three behind the striker}

Ed 004:
Di maria and an attacking RB,(I assume Dani alves) is very bad defensively. With dimaria losing balls in dangerous places we will be severely punished even against a decent team like everton. Herrera is not good defensively as well. After that long free kick that went in early season, I can see dimaria trying that sort of half shot, half cross balls in almost all matches he is playing. I can also see if he loses the ball he goes to ground thinking that he is still playing in spain where even touching the opponent is a foul.

{Ed004's Note - I'm not so sure. While at Madrid Di Maria worked very hard defensively. Hopefully when he gets back to form and starts to enjoy his football again his work rate will return to normal. I would worry about Alves though. The main benefit of Smalling is his pace and he's been covering for Valencia a lot so I can't see Alves being any worse. Also think we will play a higher line next season so when we lose the ball we will press higher up the pitch}

Otamendi is right footed, LVG is a coach who loves balance. He puts great emphasis on players being suited to their position, for example he likes his left sided central player to be left footed. I just can't see him not buying a left footed centreback. We have right footed centerbacks coming out our ears already why would he buy another?

Could the Otamendi rumours be merely paper talk? I hope we sign Aymeric Laporte. Would love to see John Stones here too.

Rojo and Otamendi partnership would be left and right footed Rewz.

Otamendi plays left centre back, I wouldn't overthink things and just trust LVG and Ed know who they're sighing will I prove us.
