I'd just be happy if we confirmed interest in one of them.

What would you do with mata? I don't think there's much debate for our front 3, rvp, Rooney and mata are far ahead of any competition IMO. Signing di Maria would be brilliant but we'd probably change to a 4-3-3.
It seems like some on here have forgotten about Di Maria being one of the, if not THE best players for a CL winning team full of superstars.
He certainly was their gamechanger in he biggest games like the two amazing crosses to Benzema accounting for 2 out of the 3 goals they scored vs Barca or that amazing solo run that created the sitter for Bale in the CL final... he was among the 8 best players last season. And probably together with Modric the best big game player in club football last season.
I'd take De Jong if it meant we can sign Di Maria to be honest but I understand everyone has their own preferences.
Van Gaal loves 4-3-3 and who knows, maybe he might just revert back to that if he believes he has the personel for it.
Computer master of twitter and speaks Arabic....Are you the lovechild of Chloe and Jack Bauer?
He is Afghan-Egypt United.
Di Maria is joining PSG, let's not even entertain the notion.
Have we signed him yet though?
Have we signed him yet though?
Exactly. I'd take someone who could do a job in midfield for us (and given our lack of quality there we would see an instant improvement in that area with a decent addition like de Jong) and get Di Maria here pronto.
So wages will play a part for Vermaelen but not for Vidal or Benzema. . .

Vermaelen wants the United http://fb.me/6L345GQHc
If Di Maria joins us I'm sure Ronaldo, Vidal and Zlatan will also be joining us for £26 and a pack of Chewits.
That escalated pretty fast... di Maria, and Vidal rumors picking up pace again over the past few hours.
It's the hope that kills you.
Moyes effect. Could have got him and Thiago for £4m more than Fellaini.
He wanted to come to us too, IIRC
He is worth about half of half of that.
Can't sleep, just refreshing this threat hoping for more tweets on this. Feck Vidal.
It will work out, I'd prefer Herrera/Vidal any day of the week
He will never Chelsea but he barcelona another day because now he wants the United.But I thought he Barcelona? Looks like he will never Chelsea.
Can't say I've seen that much of Roma in the past year but seemingly Strootman has gone from 'ridiculously priced' at £15m to worth £30m+ plus in a year, seemingly because we now have a Dutch manager.
Only 5 weeks to go of this madness and then what's done is done although I'd rather not have Woodward or anyone else for that matter other than our manager in such control over the potential outcome of our season. To think the hopes of our season rest upon Smalling, Jones and Evans staying fit for the whole campaign. 
I'd say it's more to do with him being one of the most consistently stand out performers in Serie A last season and just a little bit of a Dutch love in.
£15 million was a fair price for him when he moved to Roma.
Could have got long term target De Rossi too if we didn't have dithering Dave as our manager.
Snap that hand off with all your might. That would be up there with Arsenal making a profit on Vermaelen by selling to us. Rodgers doesn't fancy him and he's injury prone. He can be replaced.
Lovren and Sakho - he's already replaced it seems. Could perhaps use a 5th centre back for extra cover but it's not necessary.
Fictional release clauses are tricky. Let's be honest, if he had a £23m release clause he'd already be a Barca player.
Fair point. Though I suppose one of Liverpool's main goals this season has to be to keep Kolo Toure as far away from the first team as possible and Sakho still strikes me as someone who only plays footy as it gives him a regular opportunity to boot people really hard.
As funny as this is, unfortunately I don't get the hate for Sakho. Although he looks clumsy I actually think he's decent on the ball for a centre back (apart from falling after he kicks it!), and he had a pretty solid world cup defensively. Lovren was one of the best defenders in the league last season for me, so they could make a good partnership together - not the best, but good enough for sure. Don't forget, Gerrard has all the qualities to be a fantastic centre-half as he ages. They won't need Kolo
