Is this real? If yes Van Gaal is just a boss trolling his own team.

On Kagawa great pickup, honestly i think he was a bit overhyped when he left Dortmund because i think back then the team made him better instead of him making the team better but for sure a good player and a needed injection of creativety in the Dortmund midfield.

Maybe Klopp will get rid of Aubameyang and back to the more traditional 4-2-3-1?

The bottom line is that Kagawa was simply bad at United under 3 different managers, even on the rare occasions where he was played in his favored position. Still, the fee being mentioned, 8 million pounds is pretty damn low when Cleverley is being sold for 9 million...

If he does indeed move then hopefully he can get his groove back. I think it would be the best decision for both parties.

Well, united as a whole managed to perform poorly under Moyes and Gaal (well, not that they had many games with him yet...) so I'm not particularly worried. I'm sure he can live up to his potential under Klopp.

Manchester United have had a bid of €40m plus Javier Hernandez for Arturo Vidal immediately rejected by Juventus. Louis van Gaal as told Ed Woodward to do whatever it takes to sign both Arturo Vidal and Daley Blind.

Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement over the transfer of Shinji Kagawa.

Aston Villa have had a £8m bid accepted by Manchester United for midfielder Tom Cleverley.

Why would someone give £8m to Cleverley.

I think i will never understand why.

Kagawa was good for stretches in his first season, he was injured during the middle stretch but played decent to good in the beginning and end. After that I don't remember him ever having a good game no matter where he played.

Not really, there is just a fervent Kagawa cult that refuses to place any blame on him for not performing and always makes excuses. Players like RvP, Rooney, Mata, De Gea have all been good during different periods during the last few seasons, Kagawa has never been good for United. I don't think it's all his fault, but he should take some blame for not taking any of his chances.

Again, hopefully in Dortmund he can be back in the ideal situation and thrive again, but as much as anyone is to blame for his failures at United.

Yeah there's a reason why at least 2 different managers didn't see it in him. And anyone from the outside can claim all they want, but they don't have all the information. If he fails in training, has attitude problems or is just plainly not good enough, then he doesn't deserve to play. Those responsible for putting him on the bench are the ones that have all the information. We don't.

As it is with almost every player out there: when they're benched, it's probably for good reason.

How has the FFP act now been thrown at Man U yet but Man City has already been reminded of it with Di Maria?

kagawa wasnt only bad at being played out of position, but he was actually unwilling. no shit the managers are gonna dislike you if you have no intention of playing for the team. its not like hes been extremely good at no.10 either. imo he played for man utd for the glory and pride, being the 2nd asian to be associated with man utd (the chinese failure doesnt count). he never really played for the team

I was a closet Kagawa cultist to, but yeah he was soft, weak in position and his movement was nowhere near as good enough as it needed to be.

Haha, so apparently Torres has a chance to win back his spot in Chelsea since Diego Costa caught an injury recently, or so I heard. That's funny :D

FFP only apply to UEFA competitions, if they buy both Vidal and Blind ManU is likely to get fined next year if they finish 5-6 or at least fined if they do any transfers for major fees.
