Manchester Utd Latest : Van Gaal wants TWO more signings after Angel Di Maria's exit

Manchester United could make two signings to balance the takeoff of Angel Di Maria.

Angel di Maria, Daley Blind and Ander Herrera accounted for over two thirds of United's spending spree last year, but Van Gaal thinks he still lacks a brilliant midfielder to dictate play.

Argentine Di Maria closed his £44.3m move to Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday and Louis van Gaal needs Barcelona forward Pedro to supplant him.

Then again, Van Gaal is concerned by United's absence of pace in attack and proposed he could acquire another player to stimulate The Reds, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Inquired as to whether despite everything he needed two players, he told MUTV: "Yes, in light of the fact that I have said that we require players with rate and imagination – Di Maria is a player like that and now he is gone, so we require that sort of player.

"Obviously we have issues still with the goalkeeper, so we require possibly two more players."

Van Gaal portrayed Di Maria as a 'major misfortune's at his public interview in front of Tottenham's visit.
