Manchester United Eye Vidal - Why The Chile Star Could Fire Them To Premier League Glory

Manchester United faced rejection throughout most of last summer until they managed to secure Marouane Fellaini towards the end of the transfer window. They were heavily linked with many players, but were publically humiliated when they were rejected. This could have been down to the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson or because of David Moyes' inexperience in handling big-money moves. Whatever the reason was, Louis van Gaal is determined to not let that happen this summer.

Gunners Must Fight For Sanchez - Why He Is The Man To Push Arsenal To The Title

Arsenal’s failure to truly challenge for the title has often been attributed to their leaky defence. Last season, however, Arsenal only conceded four more goals than champions Manchester City, with their problem instead being unable to find the opposition’s net, especially in big games. Arsene Wenger’s side regularly lacked a direct attacking threat whenever in-form Aaron Ramsey was unavailable.

Manchester United Sign Herrera - Why The Midfielder Needs To Adapt Quickly

A lack of quality in the middle of the park has long been a concern at Manchester United, but with the signing of Ander Herrera have they finally found a solution to the midfield crisis at Old Trafford? Herrera has yet to establish himself as a top star in European football, but the 24-year-old’s form over the second half of the season, as well as notable performances against both Real Madrid and Barcelona, put his name firmly on United’s radar.

Colombia Star Linked With Manchester United - Where He Would Fit In

While every newspaper, website and journalist reports the news of players coming into clubs, very rarely do you get a piece which says where these players will actually fit in. I remember seeing one publication try to put Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Edinson Cavani, Adnan Januzaj, Antonio Valencia and Juan Mata into one side. Sometimes it makes you wonder if it is possible.

Luke Shaw Given Inflated Price - Why He Is Not Worth It

Patrice Evra has been a Manchester United stalwart for a number of seasons now and was a crucial member of Sir Alex Ferguson's team as he was approaching his final years. He is a consistent and talented left-back that has become a fan favourite. This means that whoever Louis van Gaal brings in as a long-term replacement for Evra should have all the features that the Frenchman possesses in his game.

Arsenal Look At Barcelona Star - Why They Should Sign Him

In terms of tactics and having players to fit those tactics, Arsenal don't have any problems. However, with very little depth in the side, sometimes the tactics are not used to best effect. In terms of attack, the Gunners will use Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey to supply the wingers with a constant stream of through-balls.
