Could it be that Swedish international striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the striker LVG has been hinting about?
The Dutch manager has revealed that the club is closing in on a top striker, and that it has gone below the radar of all those guessing as to who it might be.
The bookmakers however are slashing their odds on the Paris Saint-Germain strikers chances of joining Manchester United dramatically, with them having dropped from 20/1 down to 5/1 with big bets still coming in.
United is also understood to be on the brink of signing Barcelona forward Pedro but he is not believed to be the secret striker that LVG is hinting about.
Add to this the talk of Angel Di Maria moving to the French champions and you have the making of a very possible deal.
‘Van Gaal has been making his intentions very clear this transfer window, doing whatever it takes to get the players he wants and now it looks like he could be making a move to poach Zlatan from the grasps of frontrunners AC Milan,’ said Betfair trader Michael Bowers.
Whether or not the 33-year-old decides to pick Old Trafford over the San Siro, we will have to wait and see, but it can only be good for the Premiership if Zlatan tries to win the Premiership with United.
