Manchester United Transfer News: Analyzing Potential Arturo Vidal January Deal

Manchester United have displayed some promising signs in the early stages of their first season under the guidance of Louis van Gaal.

Top form has still been elusive, though. It's led to talk about a potential high-profile move in January to help provide a spark.

Anthony Chapman of the Daily Express reports the Dutch manager has once again set his sights on Juventus star Arturo Vidal as a mid-season target. He notes there are a couple of other options depending on how things play out over the next few months:

The United boss is still keeping tabs on Vidal despite lining up moves for Roma's Kevin Strootman and Real Madrid's Sami Khedira, and could yet launch a bid for the former Bayer Leverkusen man.

There was a lot of chatter during the summer about the Chilean international making a move to Old Trafford. Nothing ever came of it as United opted for other marquee moves, including the additions of Angel Di Maria and Ander Herrera.

Manchester United Transfer News: Gareth Bale Rumours Emerge, Arjen Robben Latest

Manchester United are reportedly lining up a sensational move to bring Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale to Old Trafford in the January transfer window.

According to a report on Fichajes.net (h/t Metro), the Red Devils are prepared to spend £90 million to bring the former Tottenham star to Manchester and are "confident" of making it happen.

United's interest in signing Bale has supposedly emerged after any hopes of re-signing Real's Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo were snuffed out, with Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti telling The Sun the move would never happen, per George Ankers on Goal.com:But this won't happen - because Ronaldo will go to the end of his career at Real Madrid. I'm 100% certain he will be here next season not at Manchester United, 100%. He's happy here, he's loved here by everyone. It's a perfect relationship at this moment so I don't think it will change. Ronaldo will finish his career here.
