Red Devils Want All Arsenal's Transfer Targets – Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is fearful that Manchester United will splash the cash on his potential transfer targets this summer.
According to reports published on Goal.com, the Red Devils have already announced the addition of PSV winger Memphis Depay for a fee of €27.5 million ahead of next season. Last year at the same stage the club spent about €200m for bringing in Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo and Daley.

Wenger believes that Manchester United boss, Louis van Gaal, will adopt a similarly big-spending strategy during a summer transfer window.

“I expect Manchester United to be active in the transfer market. Every player I am offered, Manchester United are already on his case!” Wenger told reporters.

Although Van Gaal had a difficult start at Old Trafford, the team secured its return to the Champions League. Wenger believes that the Dutchman will do his best to attract big names in the coming months.

“He has shown that he has the personality to be at a club of that size. We expect them to buy some strong players,” Arsenal manager said.

On May 17, 2015 Arsenal will travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United, with the Gunners two points ahead of the Red Devils. Sunday’s victory will secure a top-three finish for the Gunners letting them avoid the Champions League playoffs in August.

Speaking about the coming match, Wenger said:

“Not to have that stress over your head from the first day again is vital. We have good, fantastic and very bad memories but want we want is to show we are a solid team.

“To win at Old Trafford again would convince us that we have the strength and help us be stronger next season. We feel we have made progress. Only one thing shows you have made progress and that’s the continuity in your performances.

“We want to bounce back from our defeat against Swansea and put in a good performance. Any positive result, a win or a draw would be great. Mathematically we can put distance between United and us in the top four and secure a top-three place.

“I think as well it would be a symbolic statement if we won. We won there in the FA Cup and to replicate that would be important psychologically.”
