Really don't know but maybe he wants a more defensive player and he could also be waiting for Strootman. As you say, unless United are lying Vidal won't come here. I'd be happy with Strootman but we need someone else in the meantime.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Van Gaal said himself our squad lacks balance. If we go into the new season with our current midfield we'll be lucky to scrape fourth.
You're not looking close enough - Ducker and Ogden have said the same.
I would argue against that to be honest, even if we paid £60m for him, it wouldn't look stupid. In fact it will look stupid if we don't sign a CM of quality and it seems we could have signed him if we force the issue, we will look even more stupid if someone else signs him.
Still I think this one is dead in the water, I'm going to go to my little corner and cry... *sniffs*
Not on twitter. Missed out Ogden for some reason. He said no contact on the 22nd, Ladyman said the same today. That's it from what I can see.
Ducker has said it in his articles as well.
Link? All he's said on Twitter is that 4 players are our on radar, no mention of Vidal. But considering all 4 our CB's, that's hardly surprising.
Ladyman hasn't given any names at all, just said we aren't in for Vidal. While Ogden backs up what Ducker says with the same 4 names. Nothing else about transfer targets on any of the other accounts.
Its behind The Times paywall - cant post it but club are saying "no interest" and have done for weeks.
Ducker hasn't mentioned Vidal specifically for a while. Looked at his articles going back to the 17th and no mention.
United insists with Di María http://bit.ly/1rDyxCf
Juventus seem like they are denial to me. And let's be fair. There are no itk's when it comes to us this year. Also don't get why we keep posting tweets from someone called Juventus_Fan haha! He hangs onto anything possible regarding Vidal
After watching Madrid last year he does track back and work hard for his team. But some people say use him as a wing back. That would be a definite no go IMO. He would have to play further up if we did buy him. I can still see us playing 4-3-3 next season.
To me that looks like a surefire way to undermine Costa from the outset. A few bad games and they'll want Drogba to start every game.

de Gea's quote: “This will be a new experience – it’s always good to play on different pitches, with higher altitudes and under different conditions. While pre-season tours may be quite enjoyable, there can also be a lot of suffering. They are needed – we need them to improve our match fitness before the upcoming season.”
The first of the last two points shows how popular Hernandez is:
- In the mixed zone at the Rose Bowl after the game where players stop for interview, tonnes of corporate fans wrestled with Spanish-speaking journalists/crew to try to get photo or a word or two with Hernandez. Reporters who were trying to do their job were barged aside in the melee.
- Yorke and Silvestre were spotted with a personal trainer at the team hotel.
Have they said anything yet? Didn't they post the Vidal quotes from yesterday? They are getting less and less reliable IMO especially when it comes to us
Cheers for the additional quotes Damien.
Gotta be honest here I don't think we are in for Di Maria or Vidal or anyone else that's being bandied around twitter! I believe the manager when he says he needed a couple of weeks to decide as to what he needs. He mentioned defence which is what we will sign and it will be as private as it's possible to be.
Here here! For our own sanity it's the best thing to do!
Barring those with clear transfer related content, please post Tweets about current United players in their respective player threads.
Feel bad for Southampton fans. Their team has been stripped apart one by one.
Can see them getting relegated next year. I don't rate Koeman as a manager.

De Jong in this window, then Strootman in January is what I think you'll see with regards to midfielders.
Which will probably be the case. Some dream to be in his position but you can't make someone put effort they have to want to do it.
Meeting the Belgian Royal family after the WC.
I love how Pool keep spending their money Spurs-like. Not a single great transfer so far.
Perhaps I'm the only one, but I don't really think Lovren is all that. One good season on top of quite a few mediocre ones at Lyon, from the little I've seen and what I've read.
