TRANSFER: Iniesta to Man United?

The former Ballon D'or runner-up, and scorer
of a World Cup final winning goal, has
heaped praise on Manchester United's new
manager Louis van Gaal, who once managed
him when in charge of the Catalan giants.
"He already commands respect when you are
a veteran, so imagine when you have just
entered the team and you are young," Iniesta
told Barca TV.
"But the truth is I have a special memory of
him, because he is someone very important
to me and if there was something he cared
about was supporting the young players from
the reserves."
The 30-year-old failed to reach the heights
expected of him during this summer in Brazil
with the national side, and there have been
rumours that some of the old-guard at
Barcelona, including Dani Alves - could be
ready to part the club now managed by Luis
Enrique.
United are looking to strengthen the midfield
this summer, and have already brought in
24-year-old Spaniard Ander Herrera from
Athletic Bilbao for a sizeable transfer fee.
Although he'd unlikely command that kind of
fee because of his age, any move for Iniesta,
regarded as one of the best footballers of his
generation, would spark excitement amongst
fans of the Old Trafford club.
