Manchester United transfer news and rumours for summer 2014. Budget: £150-200m Strategy: Manchester United are planning a major summer spending spree which will focus on between five and six new signings. Key areas of attention are the back four and central midfield, but they may also add to their attacking options. Who calls the shots? Ed Woodward, the executive vice-chairman, will be tasked with sealing the deals after being handed a list of targets by Louis van Gaal. Woodward has already spent months working on moves for players identified by David Moyes. Best case: United have completed deals for Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera for £30m and £29m respectively and want to at least one more defender and another energetic, creative midfielder. They are likely to bid for Juventuss Arturo Vidal, who starred for Chile at the World Cup. United are determined to flex their muscles this summer. Worst case: That this summer is the same as the last one, when United chased big targets and ended up with none of them. The pressure is on Woodward to deliver the big names that he has been chasing for months. Van Gaal’s delayed start due to the World Cup could become a problem. Likely to leave: As many as 10 players could go, but the cull is likely to be smaller simply to avoid a threadbare squad next season. Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Alex Buttner have left, while Juventus and Inter Milan are targeting Nani. Inter also interested in Javier Hernández. Tom Cleverley, Anderson and Ashley Young could find their futures lie elsewhere, too. Soure;The Telegraph #MUFC
