Stoichkov: Van Gaal is garbage.

"I have no respect for him, he’s garbage. One day, when I was injured and I was with my wife at the Nou Camp. He went up to her and asked 'how was possible that she married someone like me?' It was the fault of Van Gaal that I moved on to CSKA Sofia."

United return for Miranda:

"Miranda’s future at Atlético Madrid is uncertain. The centre-back told AS on Saturday that he will try to fulfil his contract at Atlético, which expires in the summer of 2016. Last summer he had a firm offer from Manchester United and Louis van Gaal still has the Brazilian in his sights, assuming he continues on the Old Trafford bench.

For Atlético, Miranda is no longer a priority like he was last summer, when he was not allowed to leave unless a club met his €30m releause clause. The emergence of José María Giménez and the fact that Miranda turns 31 in September have made the Brazilian a saleable asset for Atlético. His agent still deals with United’s interest and the idea is that they will speak about the matter again at the end of the season.

United have been weak in defence this season and need the experience of the Brazilian."

Hummels might leave:

Borussia Dortmund star Mats Hummels has reignited rumours he could be on his way to Manchester United by revealing he’s tempted by the prospect of playing abroad.

“Some days I think I would definitely like to move abroad," he said, when asked about interest from the Red Devils. “But then, other days, I think I don't fancy it at all."

Man Utd eyeing Brazils Firmino:

Manchester United are in the race to sign Brazil midfield star Roberto Firmino, with reports suggesting they’ll have to square off with Atletico Madrid to land the Hoffenheim maestro.

According to Manolete of AS, the Red Devils are “very interested" in the 23-year-old, but they face stern competition from Atletico, who have taken their “final steps" to bring the player to the Vicente Calderon.
