Manchester United's quest to take this season's Premier League title had just been given a major boost as three world-renowned footballers are possibly going to grace the Old Trafford field this January.
Neymar could leave Barcelona due to tax issues, says his father: The 23-year-old Brazil captain is currently enduring a tax evasion case in Spain and his father recently told reporters that he could leave Barça soon because of it.
"We are talking about a renewal (with Barça), but we need to solve some things," said Neymar's father. "We need to know if Spain accepts our situation. It's hard for us because we are receiving many attacks, from Brazil and from Spain. Neymar is a star and works his image here and from Brazil."
The Red Devils made a bid for the star winger last summer but was unfruitful as Neymar chose to stay at Camp Nou. Louis van Gaal is reportedly set to make another offer when the winter window opens and this could be the time United and its fans had all been waiting for.
Double raid for Real Madrid's Gareth Bale and Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben imminent: Reports are out that United is also set in paying the buyout clause of wingers Bale and Robben at an estimated amount of £150 million.
The 26-year-old Welshman is reportedly going to cost more or less £100 million while Bayern could demand around £50 million for the 31-year-old Dutch veteran.
It is certain that van Gaal and company has the cash to spend for these expensive superstars, which is why the 63-year-old manager had been frustrated about the other clubs' unwillingness to sell him their best players.
