Here are all the latest Red Devils stories from today's Daily Mirror...

De Gea relationship breakdown

David de Gea's relationship with Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has broken down completely.

De Gea’s determination to leave Old Trafford may be driven by his ambition to play for Real Madrid, but Sunday Mirror Sport can also reveal that the Spanish goalkeeper now feels his position at the club has been made untenable by the Van Gaal’s claim that he refused to play.

A source close to De Gea said: “David just doesn’t get on with Van Gaal - and his relationship with goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek is even more strained.”

Former United keeper Edwin van der Sar is aware of the simmering tensions that have developed between player and manager.

Bale deal planned for deadline day

Louis van Gaal is banking on a dramatic 72-hour window of ­opportunity to snatch Gareth Bale from Real Madrid, writes Steve Bates in the Sunday People.

And the Manchester United boss will have the Bale boo-boys of the Bernabeu to thank if he does land the £95million Welsh wizard.

Should the Madrid fans turn on Bale again in their first La Liga home match of the season next Saturday, Van Gaal will have three days before the transfer deadline on the Tuesday evening to do a deal for the world’s most expensive footballer.

Wales international Bale was hounded by Madrid fans on and off the pitch last season. Any more negativity towards the 26-year-old may lead the club's powerful president Florentino Perez to re-think his stance on the former Tottenham star's future.

Van Gaal insists striker not needed

Louis van Gaal watched his Manchester United side struggle in front of goal for the third Premier League match in succession - but insisted he doesn’t need to add to his attack.

United’s 100 percent start to the season ground to a halt as they were held to a goalless draw against Newcastle.

Their previous wins in the league came courtesy of a Kyle Walker own goal against Tottenham and a deflected strike by Adnan Januzaj at Aston Villa.

In the week that saw them fail to land one of their top targets Pedro, Van Gaal claimed he was happy with his strike-force.

Jonny Evans wanted by Baggies

West Brom boss Tony Pulis will try to persuade Jonny Evans to walk away from Manchester United this week as he prepares a cut-price £8million bid.

Pulis has turned to the 27-year-old Northern Ireland international after dropping a move for Tottenham’s Federico Fazio because his wage demands were too high.

Earlier in the summer United were asking £12m for Evans.

That's despite the fact he has drifted out of favour under Louis van Gaal and was not even on the bench for Saturday’s clash with Newcastle.

But Albion believe they could get him for just £5m up front, plus add-ons.

Rooney understands Champions League essential

Wayne Rooney insists that glory is the main motivation for Manchester United’s players to return to the Champions League.

United missed out on a £50million windfall when they failed to qualify for Europe’s top club competition for the first time in 18 years under David Moyes, but Louis van Gaal’s men moved to within touching distance of qualifying for this season’s group stages by beating Brugge 3-1 at Old Trafford last week.

If the Reds finish the job in Belgium on Wednesday night then they will be back amongst the elite – and will cash in massively on the back of a new TV deal that has made the Champions League more lucrative than ever.

But while Rooney admits that United’s owners will be desperate for the cash – and that Euro riches will help Van Gaal to strengthen his squad in the final weeks of the season – he remains a footballer who is focused on medals rather than money.

Neymar's price named?

Manchester United would have to pay Barcelona £137.8million in order to secure Neymar, report the Daily Star on Sunday.

But they will have to meet the official buy-out clause in order to get their man - making him by far the most expensive footballer in the history of the game.

United are still hoping to make a marquee signing before the end of the transfer window.

Manchester United are set to launch another big bid for Thomas Muller, according to Bild.

The Red Devils have reportedly already had one large bid rejected and they are expected to come in with another substantial offer in the coming days.

Muller, however, will not be sold by Bayern Munich as any cost, it has been reported.

Muller played the full 90 minutes for the German champions on Saturday as they claimed a last-gasp win over Hoffenheim.

Wonderkid targeted?

Norwegian wonderkid Rafik Zekhini would be open to a move to Manchester United after the Old Trafford giants launched a bid, report Norwegian source TA.

The 17-year-old, who currently plays for Odds BK, says that United are his favourite club.

“My focus is 100 percent on Odds BK,” he told Nettavisen

“Yes, Manchester United is my favourite club and it would be difficult to say no to them if there was a bid. Nevertheless, I am in Odds BK now and enjoy being here. This is where I have my focus.”
