Former Chelsea winger agrees January move to Manchester United

Arjen Robben could move to Manchester United in January

ARJEN ROBBEN has agreed to become Manchester United's first signing of the January transfer window, according to reports.

 

United manager Louis van Gaal is keen to add some pace to his forward line and Robben is understood to be keen to leave Bayern Munich.

The Dutchman is reported to have fallen out with Bayern Munich team-mate Robert Lewandowski, which has paved the way for his exit from the Bundesliga.

 

The Daily Mirror claim the former Chelsea winger is unsettled as a result of the fall-out and is relishing the chance to move back to England for a second crack at the Premier League.

Van Gaal has already expressed his desire to make a marquee signing in the January transfer window and might continue his spending spree after completing a deal for the 31-year-old.

Robben could form one half of a sensational double deal, with Gareth Bale also thought to be at the top of a list of targets.

Southampton's Sadio Mane remains a long-term option after the Old Trafford club failed to land him in the summer.

Saints team-mate Graziano Pelle is another striker they are monitoring, while boss Van Gaal has also been linked with Lazio winger Felipe Anderson and an ambitious swoop on Barcelona for Neymar.
