United swooping for new striker
Date published: 21 July 2015
LOUIS van Gaal has confirmed Manchester United is recruiting a new striker.
Senior sources at United were insistent last week the Reds were not after a new frontman, but after United’s 1–0 win over Club America at the weekend Van Gaal hinted a “surprise” signing might be in store.
On the eve of United’s second tour match in California against the San Jose Earthquakes, the United boss again dropped a cryptic clue suggesting a forward could be coming to Old Trafford.
When asked whether United were close to signing a striker named in the press, Van Gaal refuted the suggestion and said fans would have to wait and see.
United have been linked with a number of forwards in the last few weeks, including Paris St Germain’s Edinson Cavani, Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich.
