5-Word Transfers: Milner, Depay, Hernandez, Jovetic, Gaya

Inter Milan pursue one in a Milner

Louis van Gaal walking to Memphis?

Mancunian late-afternoon journal the Manchester Evening News report that Louis van Gaal and his coaching team were watching Memphis Delay this week. The Dutch sensation starred in his country's 2-0 victory over Spain on Tuesday night and the viewing Manchester United manager liked what he saw. Van Gaal has been something of a mentor/father figure to Depay over the years and a deal with current club PSV Eindhoven has been mooted for months.

Thankfully there are a number of clubs who would be only too willing to pick up the pieces and treat Hernandez with the kind of love he'd given up on long ago.
