Man Utd Transfer News: Two new defenders and a star midfielder to Old Trafford

The Metro claims that at the top of the Dutchman's shopping list is midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.

The Borussia Dortmund star is out of contract in 2016, and his club are claimed to be willing to sell at the end of the season.

Another player in Van Gaal's sights is Ricardo Rodriguez, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

The left-back is a key man for current club Wolfsburg, but his agent has admitted that the Red Devils have already made contract over a potential summer switch.

Football-Talk adds that Nathaniel Clyne is also on United's agenda.

The Southampton right-back is highly valued by Ronald Koeman, but unfortunately for Van Gaal, is said to be a target for Chelsea too.
