Javier Hernandez nears OT exit (@mufc)



Jan Kruger/Getty ImagesJavier Hernandez would likely benefit from a move out of Manchester.
The transfer market has been lively since the World Cup ended, and the moves that have already been made, such as Barcelona's acquisition of Luis Suarez, will have a significant impact on the 2014-15 European season.
At the same time, there are still a number of top players looking to make a move that enhances their individual career trajectory. For certain players, that means moving away from a club that has a logjam of players at a specific position, while for others that means making a move in response to new arrivals at their current club.
Here are eight potential transfers involving high-level players that I think should happen in the August window based on fit for both player and club. Some of these transfers have been rumored or are close to being finalized, while others are purely my suggestion.

Arturo Vidal | Age: 27| Position: midfield
From: Juventus (Serie A)
To: Manchester United (Premier League)
Vidal recently pledged his loyalty to Juventus and refuted any moves to Manchester, but the sudden departure of Juventus manager Antonio Conte is an indication that the club will not be a major buyer in the transfer market, and entering the prime of his career it would be wise for Vidal to leave as well. The Chilean star did not have a great World Cup -- perhaps because of a knee injury going into the tournament -- but he remains one of the best box-to-box midfielders in the world because of his ability to maintain a defensive central presence while also recognizing numerical advantages in the attack and getting forward to create chances at the right moments.
Vidal's attributes would make him invaluable in United manager Louis van Gaal's 3-5-2 formation, and the fact that he could either play as a defensive anchor for the other two attacking central midfielders or as an attacking central midfielder himself would give the manager multiple options based on the surrounding personnel. His arrival would likely diminish the role of Michael Carrick, who was United's most consistent midfield performer last season, but when compared side-by-side it is clear why the team is so intent on bringing Vidal to Manchester.

Man United transfer blow! Vidal is NOT FOR SALE, say Juventus

Man United transfer blow! Vidal is NOT FOR SALE, say Juventus

16/08 MUN 12:45 SWA Preview
Bad news Manchester United fans, as Juventus have stated they have no intension of selling top target Arturo Vidal this summer.
The 27-year-old playmaker, who has three years left in his contract with the Italian champions, has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford having impressed during the World Cup.
New Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the new Premier League season, following a dismal campaign under axed boss David Moyes that saw the club miss out on European football for the first time in 25 years.
But Juve have insisted Chile star Vidal, who is thought to be happy at the Italian side, will only move this summer if he expresses a wish to leave.
"Vidal is a Juventus player and we have never put him up for sale," Juventus club administrator Giuseppe Marotta told a press conference on Wednesday.
"A lot of clubs have asked for him but we have never sat down to negotiate.
"We want to keep him."
Marotta added: "From experience, I know that a player is the one that decides his future.
"Vidal has expressed many times how happy he is to remain in Turin and if that is confirmed, we will be happy to continue together.”
