Van Gaal targets Hummels and Martins Indi for Man Utd

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal wants to build a new central defensive pairing. The Manchester Evening News says Van Gaal wants United to sign Feyenoord youngster Bruno Martins Indi and Borussia Dortmund's Mats Hummels.

Van Gaal still has Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans at his disposal, but wants to add another world class defender to his squad.

United chief Ed Woodward has made no secret of the club's intentions to spend big this summer in order to challenge for top honours.

Funds in the region of £200m will be made available for van Gaal to secure the top quality targets required to overhaul a squad that so underperformed last season.
