Having already signed Luke Shaw from Southampton, Manchester United are looking to further reinforce their defense.
More than a few quality defenders are linked with the Red Devils and after Netherlands brilliant showing at the World, quite a few are Dutch.
The likes of Martins Indi, Stefan de Vrij and Daryl Janmaat are reportedly wanted by Manchester United.
After the departure of Vidic and Ferdinand, United’s priority should be to sign a central defender but they are also focusing on luring another full back in Daryl Janmaat of Feyenoord.
The 24 year old right back had a brilliant season with the Dutch side as he made 30 league appearances for the Feyenoord side that finished Eredivisie in second place last season behind Ajax.
His record for Holland is brilliant as well. Janmaat has made 19 senior appearances for the national side and has never lost a single game.
Although, United already have Rafael, Smalling and even Jones at times for the right back position, still they are keen on signing Janmaat because he is available for cheap.
According to reports, Manchester United moved with a $7m bid as Janmaat has only one year remaining on his contract. However, Feyenoord are ready to accept an offer of around $12 million for their first choice defender.
The mentioned sum can seal the signing for Manchester United and by no means that is an expensive figure as compared to other transfer targets of the club. United are facing competition from Newcastle for the signature of Janmaat

If it’s a 3-4-3 formation I don’t think we have issues with Raphel,Valencia and Jones filling the spot.Rather we should focus on beasty central backs and a world class winger.
Agreed but the formation is going to change depending on who we are playing !
Pls LVG brings us di maria 40mil, vidal 30mil +nani, hummel 25mil, n vamerlean 10mil,..sell nani,young,anderson,fellaini,…
3:4:3 to work at man utd, we must get 2 very strong defensive midfielders to provide a strong coverup for the three defenders. Then deploy a very speed, flexable and acurate passer/goal poacher.
With carric’s age, felain’s slownes, cleverly’s poor vision and fletcher’s sickness, we hve non to depend. We have signed herrera, very good md but he has to prove at epl. Vidal/kroos/cavalho is a beta options.
Otherwise without this, this system cant work.
