Lewandowski, Neymar, Kante, Ramos – Van Gaal wanted to create the 11th of dreams at United

Louis Van Gaal has revealed that during his time at the helm of Manchetser United, he tried to buy many players, stars then and stars today – but his wish was never fulfilled by the leaders of the “Red Devils”.

Van Gaal, who ran Manchester United from July 2014 to May 2016, does not understand why, the club that was always rumored to have the most money, was not wise in the market.

He has revealed how he loved players like Hummels, Ramos, Mahrez, Lewandowski, Mane, Kante, etc., but none of them ever landed at Old Trafford.

“I wanted to buy Lewandowski. After seeing that it was very difficult to take over from Bayern, I tried to transfer Gonzalo Higuain. Before I took over at United, we also discussed with executives about the possibility of buying Neymar. An interesting option also in relation to the large number of jerseys he would sell. In the wings I wanted fast players, so we tried Sadio Mane and Riyad Mahrez. Thomas Muller was also part of the wish list, while in midfield I wanted N’Golo Kante”, he said for FourFourTwo.

“Defense? I wanted Sergio Ramos and Matts Hummels, as we were not strong in this ward. These were my goals, but we failed to get any of them. I never understood why this happened. After I left, players like Mahrez and Kante ended up at Manchester City and Chelsea. United executives were never able to buy these players. I find it very strange.”

During his time at United, Van Gaal won just one trophy with the Red Devils, the FA Cup.
