United move could reinvent the Wiel

Manchester United are still on the lookout for a right-back, and PSG’s Gregory van der Wiel could be their preferred option.

The Daily Mail report that the Dutchman, whose contract runs out next year, would be available for £7m.

United are believed to have made the defender their main target after Dani Alves decided to stay at Barcelona.

Van Gaal keen to kart in Mario

The Manchester club are also being linked with Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic as their search for a proven goalscorer continues.

Mandzukic had an impressive first season with Atletico Madrid, scoring 20 goals, but the Sun report that he could be ready to leave Spain already.

With Radamel Falcao leaving and Robin van Persie potentially following him out the door, the target man could be a handy addition to Louis van Gaal’s squad.

Bilic wants Halil bit of Alen in his life

West Ham’s new manager Slaven Bilic wants to bring in fellow Croat Alen Halilovic on loan from Barcelona.

According to The Guardian, the Champions League winners could be ready to give the teenager game-time after he played just once for the first team last season.

Halilovic has already featured at Upton Park, playing there for his country in a friendly against Argentina last season.
