Five players Manchester United could turn to instead of Toni Kroos

3) Arturo Vidal

Louis van Gaal has been linked with making a £40m move for Chilean international Arturo Vidal after the World Cup, with the Juventus midfielder having emerged as one of Europe’s leading central players. A fine goalscoring season in Serie A has made Vidal one of Europe’s most wanted men, although the Old Lady may be reluctant to see his partnership with Paul Pogba broken up, meaning that both players will probably only be leaving Turin for eye-watering fees.
