| Van Gaal “desperate” to sign World Cup star Posted: 25 Jun 2014 04:39 AM PDT
Roy, a former Ajax player under Van Gaal who’s since taken on managerial duties with the Amsterdam club’s youth teams, claimed the Holland manager wants Arjen Robben to join him at Old Trafford after the World Cup this summer, despite the fact that 30-year-old is a pivotal figure for Bayern Munich and the German club are extremely unlikely to allow him to leave.
“I think Louis wants him desperately to come to Manchester United,” Roy said in an interview on talkSPORT. “Bayern Munich is also a big club and he is very happy there but you never know. With football, everything is possible.” Robben has been one of the standouts player of the tournament in Brazil so far, scoring twice in Holland’s 5-1 demolition on Spain, before netting his team’s opener in their second game against Australia and providing the assist for Memphis Depay’s goal in the Oranje’s 2-0 win against Chile in their final game of the group. The Dutchman has been in formidable form for Bayern Munich, scoring 34 goals and assisting a further 30 in 76 appearances over the last two seasons as Bayern claimed two consecutive Bundesliga titles and two consecutive German Cups as well as the Champions League in 2012-13. Robben’s contract with Bayern runs out in 2017 but with Van Gaal reportedly handled a £200m budget, will the United manager attempt to prise the Dutchman away from Bavaria? |
| Defender leaves United “to win trophies” Posted: 24 Jun 2014 01:17 PM PDT
Arrived a surprise signing from Vitesse Arnhem in the summer of 2012, Buttner never managed to establish himself in the starting XI and made just 13 Premier League appearances in his two seasons at the club making up slightly less than the 50% of his 28 appearances in all competitions for United.
Buttner claimed last week that Louis Van Gaal’s arrival was never going to see him getting any opportunities to impress, given the incumbent Manchester United manager had never given him a chance for with Holland. The 25-year-old, who signed for Dynamo Moscow for an undisclosed fee, said he had opted to leave Old Trafford as he wanted to win trophies. “I want to play in the Champions League and win trophies. Dynamo are building a very strong team,” said the former United left-back. “I am sure that we will be good enough to try to win the league title this season.” Dynamo Moscow finished fourth in the Russian Premier League last season and will play in the Europa League next year. |
