De Jong linked with United switch

The arrival of Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford has brought optimism to the club as he sealed a pre-season trophy and has brought some new faces to the team.

United are now set to make an ÂŁ8m bid for Milan’s Nigel De Jong after Louis van Gaal saw his qualities while coaching the Netherlands.

The move would see the 29 year-old in the colours of his former side, Manchester City’s, rivals.

The Dutch international won the Premier League during his time at the Etihad but made a move the San Siro that summer, with reports now linking him with a move back to England.

United were criticised last season for their lack of robust defensive midfielders but De Jong would help bolster the middle of the field and he would likely pave the way for further signings, with Fiorentina’s Juan Cuadrado linked with a move.

Meanwhile the liklihood of Arturo Vidal joining the Old Trafford side is slimming by the day and a replacement transfer may need to be found before the start of the season.
