The Red Devils could be preparing two big transfer moves involving Romelu Lukaku and Gareth Bale. Check out the rest of this week's latest transfer rumors.

As the winter transfer window has officially begun, the number of rumors about some players leaving their current teams to join top clubs have started emerging all over the place. Here, we will give you a closer look at those that could materialize.

Premier League clubs have a pile of money ready to be spent, and one of those big spending clubs is Manchester United. The Red Devils seem to be ready to sign Everton's striker Romelu Lukaku, who has stated before that he would like to join another title contending club after his flopped stint with Chelsea. In order to sign him, Van Gaal's crew would be willing to spend up to 50 million pounds for the player's services, although the Toffees could think twice about selling one of their key performers this season.

Another rumor where Man United seems to have the upper hand is the one that links Gareth Bale to Old Trafford. Following Rafa Benitez's sacking from Real Madrid, the Welshman has been reported to be "intensely disappointed" with the club's decision, and would be seeking for a way out of the Spanish capital. With LVG being a huge fan, and considering Ryan Giggs' influence on Bale, it could be possible to watch Los Blancos' Number 11 leave Santiago Bernabeu to join another Premier League team.
