Wanted man: Borussia Dortmund centre back Mats Hummels is a priority signing for Louis van Gaal
Former United defender Gary Neville has pledged to give £10,000 to charity after losing a bet to Arsenal fan Piers Morgan.
In December, Morgan bet Neville that United would not finish above Arsenal OR in the Premier League's top five.
Sky pundit Neville gladly took on the wager, but saw his former side finish seventh - three places below the Gunners.
Wayne Rooney has described the English media as "disgusting" for being in Portugal to report on the England striker while he is on a break with his family.
In a tweet, the Liverpudlian wrote: "Disgusting that English press have flew out to Portugal to follow me while I'm with my children."
