MANCHESTER UNITED are lining up a January move for Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben.

That is according to Spanish publication Don Balon, who claim Louis van Gaal is prepared to spend £50million to land the 31-year-old.
The Red Devils boss, who is desperate to add pace and creativity to United's flanks, reportedly eyes Robben as the man who can lead his side to the Premier League title in 2017.
Robben previously worked under Van Gaal at Bayern from 2009 to 2011 before a two-year spell in the Dutch national side.
Van Gaal recently refused to answer questions over Robben after claiming he was misquoted about United’s reported interest in Cristiano Ronaldo.

“If I answer that question, then you are writing [United are trying to sign] Robben, what you have written about Ronaldo and that I didn’t say,” he said.
“Still I need more balance in my selection. I want that we have fast wingers and that is a better balance in the team.”
