With Manchester United Head Coach Louis Van Gaal hard at work solidifying the club’s roster, the rumour mill continues to swirl with tidbits of potential trades and new signings. Whilst the fate of the club’s current members is not yet set in stone, there are a few rumours that have been confirmed. It has recently been reported that United hopes to soon complete Arturo Vidal’s signing, a move that had been previously disputed by the player himself. Tunde Folawiyo and millions of other fans of the beloved club may welcome the signing of the 27-year-old Chilean.

Whilst Vidal, a Juventus midfielder, recently told reporters that a move to Old Trafford was not on the cards, recent reports claim an outstanding £35 million move may be in the works with a signing possible in the coming weeks. With Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera recently signed to United, a Vidal contract would be the third initiated since Van Gaal’s start as head coach.

Although signing Vidal would be of great benefit to United, there are many tough decisions up ahead for Van Gaal and his coaching staff. Wilfried Zaha and Nani are both rumoured to be on the chopping block after receiving significant dressing-downs from Van Gaal during their pre-season United States tour. The coach is said to be unimpressed with the pairs’ attitude, prompting questions of whether they will remain with the team for the upcoming season.

If the player’s career stats are any indication, United would benefit immensely from signing the midfielder to the squad. Vidal held several roles in the early years of his career, demonstrating his versatility and capabilities in both attack and defense. His reputation earned him the nickname “Ill Guerriero” or “The Warrior” by Italian press for his aggressive playing style.

Vidal is regarded amongst the best in the world after displaying outstanding skill under Juventus. His service to the team, as well as Chile’s national team, have garnered him much fanfare throughout his career. During 2013, he was ranked 11^th on Bloomberg’s list of the best players in Europe. With much work to be done to the Red Devils’ roster ahead of next season, whether or not Vidal will join in is a topic of interest for many United fans and players alike.

He and millions of other Manchester United fans may welcome the Chilean with open arms if Van Gaal does indeed seal the deal.
