Louis van Gaal has triggered speculation that Manchester United may bid on Arturo Vidal after he publicly praised him ahead of Holland's match against Chile.

"Chile have very dangerous players," he told reporters. "I always wanted to buy Vidal when he was at Bayer Leverkusen but he went to Juventus.

"I like a lot of Chile players and they always play an attacking style. It will be difficult for the Netherlands but we have confidence in the three games we have to play."
