After a long wait, it seems that Manchester United are on a roll at the moment as far as transfers are concerned.
Having already secured the services of Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera, the latest news suggest that United have sealed yet another deal, this time for a Dutch defender.
According to reports, Manchester United have agreed a deal with Eredivisie side Feyenoord to sign central defender Stefan de Vrij.
De Vrij is currently on World Cup duty with Netherlands under the management of new Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal and is likely to be officially announced after the tournament.
As per the provided link, Lazio were eager to lure him but the move did not go through and Van Gaal has taken control in his hand much to the delight of Manchester United faithful.
With the club looking to sign replacements for Ferdinand and Vidic, De Vrij can be considered a quality long term signing but United surely need to sign one more central defender this summer to further reinforce defense.
Like other mentioned signings, Manchester United have not splashed any hefty cash to agree deal for De Vrij, instead the player will be joining the Red Devils for a fee of around $14m.
The 22 year old star featured in all of his World Cup game thus far and also scored a crucial goal against World Champions Spain in the opening game. United fans will surely be focusing on his performance when Netherlands collide against Mexico tomorrow.

Nice one,but,we need defensive midfieders&i will like Kroos&Williams,or some other world class whose age is not much on their side.
I will believe when i see him in Carrington having medical anyway he is a good player……..now Chile is out we can get either Sanchez or Vidal
is not a bad boy like marrio ballotel, but how many defenders ar we signing mr lvg? i here of done deal fo thomaz vermaelin, also frm spain some say we hve wraped up a deal for brasilian no nonsense defender joao miranda frm atletico,,, which is which?
we need a vidic/ferd replacement, vermaelin was superup in his fst days in arsenal jersy bt injuries coased him,,, he has all to be a nice replacement if he rediscovers his past form, maybe we do a trial,
on defrij, is good but needs time to impact his worth but miranda to me is the more than perfect replacement although atletico must reduce thea asking price, at 29, £15m is enough.
then we need vidal/kroos type to partner ander, on flanks bring young mempis frm dutch club.
then bring on haters.
I think Ander Herera is fit for that position of defensive midfielder
Ander is an attacking midfielder.
Nice deal and we still need Carvalho + Vilda + Sanchez and Depay to. Collect our P L cup back this season
LVG-Your already shown your genius in team setup…Please get us Aturo Vidal to partner Ander…shell out Nani as part exchange….Get Courado of Colambia and Khedira of Realmandrid and we are home and dry only waiting Kelvin Strootman for January.
Won’t happen
But guys honestly speaking we dont need too many players we only need 2 players a defensive mid and a solid center back like miranda or vermaelen then our team would be complete. The main thing that will make us win the league is Confidence we all know what happens when man utd players have confidence they r just unstoppable even Man city or Chelsea wont stop us. I just want LVG to bring the best out of kagawa and nani, and wen nani is on song not many players can play like him even robben or ribbery lets just keep sum players have confidence and c what happens
Use nani as part of the deal for vidal !!! Nani better than robben I’ve got to say I won’t hear anything more ridiculous all year !!! I think what u meant was let’s buy robben ??
And when is nani on song once every 2 seasons sell him lvg
Guys all we need now is more 4 world class players like,Miranda, Hummels, Vidal. Memphis. An believe me no team can ever stop us,pls let’s pray VanGal gets dis guys for us
Robben instead of depay then we will be up there challenging for the title
Pls we shud never try and make any mistake in signing any more striker,Rooney and Rvp alone are ready to give us wht we need,an we need to sell Carrick,cleverly,smalling,Welbeck,Young,Nani, let’s use d money and get Miranda, Hummels, Vidal and Memphis……..
I think nani, cleverly, Young, welbg ,Fabio, carrick must make way for vermalen and co. however I believe we may not get Alexis due to his performance in the world cup which barcer won’t let go.
John herrera does both defensive nd offensive, infact is a box to box kind of mdfder, he can do covererup defensvly or move 4wad, dribbling nd passmaster, also eye on goal he is smart. Osego we need atleast more three players to compete wit big guns,, a defender, vermaelen/miranda, then defensive md, kroos/carvalho/vidal thes a winger, sanchez/mempis.
Vidal ain’t good, we need Sanchez and a holding midfilder, go for Cuadrado plz, he is amazing
Laughable mate do u know anything about the game I think not !!! VIDAL is the best all round midfielder on the planet !!!!!!!!
He is a good coach any Play will do untill january whe K.Stroman will return ok
well, its nice to hear about d progress united are making for d next coming season but d question is dis . are we really reinstating d weaken areas at d club?
my adice rather goes to LVG not to make wrong signings because it seems to me now dat since man united had lost thier slot in d european competitions they hav started splashing too much money on d players who r nt really worth it.
What we need are players like Vidal hummels Sanchez de vrij and bring out the best of kagawa then we will be the CHAM21ONS
Vidal please!!!
De vrij is a nice signing but we only need now robben or di maria and sell nani vidal/pogba/carvalho buy one of them and another center back miranda. Cleverley chicharto welbeck smalling dont sell them and our playmakers mata and kagawa dont sell them
we only need Vidal Miranda and Memphis depay robben is too old.
LVG should sign Hummels, Vidal and Angel Di Maria.
With that, the squad is complete for sure!!!!
