United keen on summer move for Arturo Vidal

The January window may have only just closed on Wednesday. However, clubs have already turned their attention toward potential targets in summer with the World Cup restricting the timeframe for transfers.

As stated in England on Saturday, Jose Mourinho is reportedly keen to bring Vidal to Old Trafford to bolster his resources in midifeld.

The Portuguese manager is quietly confident that he can prise the Chile international away from the Bavarian club with the star's contact running out in 2019 and the Bayern board already securing the signature of Leon Goretzka from Schalke, who plays a similar position.

At 30-years-old, Vidal shouldn't command too high a fee compared to Paul Pogba (£89m) and Nemanja Matic (£40m) and would link up well with compatriot Alexis Sanchez, who signed for the club in January.

His experience would also be integral for the squad, especially since he has won six league titles during his spells at Juventus and the Bundesliga leaders, plus has consistently featured in the Champions League.

United have a sneaky way of getting the transfers they want, so these rumours are worth keeping an eye on in the next few months.
