5 Manchester United targets who will turn them into title challengers

Kevin Strootman looks on during one of AS Roma’s training sessions.

Manchester United have been struggling with injuries even after spending tons of money in the summer, so let's take a look at some players who manager Louis van Gaal should buy to improve United’s fortunes.

Kevin Strootman: A van Gaal favourite, the Dutchman has finally returned from his injury troubles. So if he gets back to his form, Manchester United most probably will go for him as they lack creativity from the middle.

Ron Vlaar: Ron Vlaar will be a temporary fix as many people do not believe that he is of Manchester United quality. But the experienced Dutch central defender will be of immense value as he has already worked under Van Gaal and also has a lot of experience in the Premier League. Manchester United reportedly will bid in the region of £6m in the hope of persuading the struggling Villains to sell. Paul Lambert after signing a new contract at Aston Villa has seen his side slide down the table and the club had to cancel its October goal of the month competition because they didn’t even manage to score a single goal.

Ryan Shawcross: Ryan Shawcross, a former Manchester United player, has been knocking on the door of a big club move for quite some time now. But the Stoke City defender has stayed put at The Brittania. United fans would love to have him back in view of their defensive troubles.

Arda Turan: Diego Simeone himself refers to this Turkish dynamite of a winger as the most important player at Atletico. Performance after performance from this winger has put him in the radar of all the top clubs. Although Manchester United several players who could play on the wings, Turan will bring in an extra dimension if he lands up at Old Trafford.

Yohan Cabaye: Manchester United are joined by Arsenal and Liverpool in the hunt for out-of-favour Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Yohan Cabaye. The former Newcastle man has slipped down the pecking order in France and could move back to England.
