Red Devils need major reinforcements this summer but up till now, they have only lured two key stars in Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera.
The England international full back who joined from Southampton was one of the star players last season as he made the team of the year.
United let other left backs Buttner and Evra leave and lately even Shaw is out injured for about a month with a hamstring injury.
His injury leaves United in a massive dilemma. There are already short of quality defensive players and now lose the only defender they have bought this summer.
In such a scenario, Red Devils must not waste any time in strengthening the defense or it can cost Louis van Gaal badly in his first season.
Dutch international and Ajax star Daley Blind is the versatile answer United are looking for and must secure his signing as soon as possible.
According to reports, Manchester United are very close to finalizing $25m deal for Blind as the Netherlands star looks for new house in the North-West.
Daley Blind has mainly played as a defensive midfielder and left back but Van Gaal even used him as a center back in a few games during the World Cup.
Blind featured in every game for Netherlands in the World Cup and was not only solid at the back but also productive in attack as he provided 3 assists and also scored a goal in the tournament.
The Ajax star can be perfect wing-back in United’s 3-4-1-2 formation in the absence of Luke Shaw and may be used as a holding midfielder alongside the creative Spaniard Herrera if United do not sign Vidal.

We appear not to know whom we want and when,hence we find ourselves in unnecessary competion with clubs that know how to get their targets.Let us improve.
Honestly,do you think we didn’t a player of Bruno Martin Indi’s calibre when we knew RF & NV were gone.We’ll wait until the club which bought him makes him costly.
I always asked myself about Mourihno and Van Gaal friendship.I’ve got the answer they usually does things the same way.last season Mourihno didn’t sign players cause he thought the squad is having what it takes to win trophies well he was wrong because he ended playing Luiz a defender as a Midfielder.now he brought in four players and I’m telling the truth he need more of Falcao.Pogba.Jese.Benatia and goalkeeper Lindegaard rejected from Manchester United.and Van Gaal need to sign EIGHT players he need to make no mistake by selling Rafael. Van Gaal Need Cavani.Carvalho from sporting.Arda Turan.Di Maria.Hummels.Varane.Sandro from Porto and Vidal and also change his formation to 4231 or 442.
