Yes Benatia was available but for the third time...he may not have fitted in with United's style of play, LVG's vision, tactics, maybe his wage demands were too high etc etc. Maybe he wanted CL football, maybe he just didn't want to play in the PL.
Again, Torres - everything about that deal meant he should have done well at Chelsea, same with Shevchenko

Yes and he is just an example that top quality players were available, actually Torres was really poor in his last Liverpool season and you think given van gaal's experience he would given them a list of targets to go for pre world cup rather than relying on moyes targets, perhaps they were hoping they could just wing it this season and get top four regardless
