Manchester United to launch new €54m Vidal bid The Red Devils are confident of making progress in their pursuit of the Juventus star this week, with Louis van Gaal having given the green light to a move for the Chilean Jul 21, 2014 12:11:00 EXCLUSIVE By Paul Clennam Manchester United are ready to launch a new €54 million bid for Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal this week. The Old Trafford club are increasingly confident of landing the Chilean World Cup star and are looking to make progress in their move for the 27-year-old in the coming days. Louis van Gaal, who officially took charge at United on Wednesday, is a big fan of Vidal, having tried to sign him while in charge of Bayern Munich in 2011, and has approved a move for the midfielder. The Dutchman encouraged the pursuit of Vidal earlier in July , despite the club being told that a move could cost them €56m plus Nani. United have monitored the situation regarding Vidal closely during a turbulent summer at Juventus, which has seen Antonio Conte leave the Serie A champions amid talk of unhappiness regarding the clubs transfer policy. Juventus have signed forward Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid and are set to complete a move for Roberto Pereyra, while suggestions that Vidal could be sold grow louder in Italy.
