Van Gaal sends scouts for Man Utd’s number one January target

Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal has sent his scouts to run the rule over Porto winger Yacine Brahimi.

The Algerian has attracted a lot of interest from several European heavyweights after his splendid displays in the Champions League.

Brahimi’s pace, power, flair and goal scoring is exactly what Louis Van Gaal claimed is needed at Old Trafford. The Dutchman is keen to freshen up his attack and a player like Brahimi could make a huge difference.

Manchester United are firmly in the title race and signing a player of Brahimi’s quality could be a game changer.
