Manchester United have stepped up in their efforts to sign the German striker Mario Gomez.
The 30 year old striker is regarded as one of the most clinical finishers around and has proven himself all across Europe.
Having scored 113 goals in his last 5 seasons with Bayern Munich and Fiorentina, Gomez could now be set for a new adventure in the Premier League.
Manchester United have struggled to score goals this season and club captain Wayne Rooney looks badly out of form so far. Van Gaal knows the importance of goals if United want to challenge for the title.
