Sir Alex Ferguson has declared that the club’s spending is over for this particular transfer window, although there’s a certain Dutch midfielder at Real Madrid who has admitted he would find Manchester United hard to turn down.

Rafael van der Vaart is currently on the books at the Bernabeu, although the decision of Jose Mourinho to sign Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil means that the Dutchman is unlikely to be first choice when the Spanish season starts.

While van der Vaart admits that he wouldn’t sign for another Spanish club, he is very open to the idea of playing for Manchester United, who might consider splashing out for him after missing out on the signature of Ozil in the summer. 

“I could never play for another club in Spain and the truth is that if you are leaving Real Madrid, there is only one club you can join that is not a step down - and that’s Manchester United,” said Van der Vaart.
 
“They are a huge club and if the reported interest they have in me turns out to be true, then I would really have to sit down and listen.

“If Manchester United could offer me first-team football with the situation as it is at Madrid, it would be very hard to turn down.

“Alex Ferguson is a great coach and I would never think about joining a team where I didn’t believe I could win things, so all of a sudden that limits your choices.

“At Manchester United you know success is likely and that’s a big factor for me at this stage of my career.

“If Jose Mourinho makes it clear I won’t play much, I see my future in English football.”
