Van Gaal got a good look at what he hinted would be his starting 11 for the Premier League opener August. 8 against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
The pair crossed paths again last summer when Romero denied Van Gaal’s Holland a place in the World Cup final with his penalty-shootout heroics in Sao Paulo.
“We have reported (with these items) you can bet they have replied to that”. “I belief the earliest meet …” Van Gaal’s comments also indicate that Valdes will be exiting United soon.
“I can give examples of champions, Bayern Munich have (Franck) Ribery and (Arjen) Robben, Chelsea have (Eden) Hazard and Willian, Real Madrid – Ronaldo and (Gareth) Bale, Barcelona have Neymar and (Lionel) Messi”, said Van Gaal.
With United enjoying more excellent pre-season form this year, the manager has reminded his players that they must make it count against Spurs.
The Argentina shot-stopper came through the ranks at Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar during Van Gaal’s four-year stint at the club a decade ago and he is delighted to be linking up with the Dutchman once more.
Ronaldo would be the “Gaalactico” signing that United fans would be desperate to see, however Van Gaal insists that a deal for the Real Madrid man is not on the cards.
“He is a fantastic, fantastic player but he knows that”.
“We didn’t do well with the goals, but I am not anxious at the moment, because we have until August 11 to correct out mistakes”, he said. Until the end we have to challenge for the number one.
Van Gaal dismissed claims that he is breaking with United’s traditions by spending vast amounts of money on new players.
United made 11 changes midway through the second half against Barcelona , with the above lineup featuring for the remaining 27 minutes of action and turning a slender 1-0 advantage into a decisive 3-1 scoreline. You have to think of all the titles that this club has won and all the players who have developed their game here at the club.
