Louis van Gaal Wants Bayern Munich Winger Arjen Robben: Could It Happen?

A few pieces from the van Gaal Manchester United puzzle are starting to fall into place, Luke Shaw at left-back, Ander Herrera in midfield and now he’s aiming higher.

The Express reports that Louis van Gaal wants to ensure that when he returns from the World Cup in Brazil, that winger Arjen Robben is on the same flight to Manchester.

Robben is van Gaal’s number one transfer target, his dream signing for the summer, in the hope that the former Chelsea man can be the catalyst for change at United.

The two certainly know each other well, from both van Gaal’s time as Bayern Munich manager and currently with the Dutch national team.

Robben has been one of the standout players of the World Cup so far, grabbing three goals and an assist to help the Netherlands finish top of Group B with nine points. (Squawka)

Manchester United as a club have traditionally always played a 4-4-2, which will most likely change under van Gaal, however if they were to get Robben, it would bring some excitement back to the Theatre of Dreams.

As anyone who has seen Arjen Robben in action, he is one of the most predictable players in world football, always looking to cut in on his left foot when approaching the box.

But what makes the Bayern Munich winger truly exceptional is that even though defenders know exactly what he is about to do, they can’t stop him from doing it.

Regarding the possible transfer, it’s difficult to see Robben who at 30 years-old is at the peak of his powers leave one of the best sides in Europe in Bayern.

Although, forgetting the likelihood that Bayern will win the Bundesliga and compete for the Champions League, it may come down to his relationship with van Gaal.

He could choose to work with van Gaal and his project, rather than Guardiola and his. Stranger things have happened in football!
