United boss Van Gaal is expected to be handed a £150million transfer budget this summer.

And the Dutchman wants to splash most of that on Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale, Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels and PSV Eindhoven winger Memphis Depay this summer.

Bale insists he is happy in Madrid, but Van Gaal is determined to try and bring the £80m-rated Welshman to Old Trafford.

Express Sport understands United are prepared to sell £59.7m record signing Angel Di Maria to fund their move for Bale.

Hummels is valued at £30m by Dortmund, who are bracing themselves for renewed interest from the Red Devils at the end of the season.

And the 63-year-old is also pressing ahead with a £20m move for Depay, who he managed at the World Cup with Holland.
