Manchester United have been in search of a quality right full back for quite some time and they must sign one in next summer.
Lately, the Red Devils were heavily linked to sign Brazilian international Danilo from Porto and were ready to pay his hefty price tag to secure services.
However, the latest reports suggest that Manchester United have been handed a major blow as Real Madrid have stolen march and reached agreement with Porto to sign Danilo.
Real Madrid are stealing transfer targets for fun it seems. They secured Martin Odegaard who was wanted by many top European clubs.
Signed Lucas Silva who was a serious transfer target for Arsenal and now they have secured the deal to sign highly rated Samba star Danilo from Porto.
Manchester United will be bitterly disappointed as the 23 year old was targeted to become a long term solution for the right wing back position and would have been a perfect player in Van Gaal’s system as he is productive in defense as well as attack.
United have also been linked with another Brazilian right full back in the form of Barcelona star Daniel Alves who will likely be a free agent in summer.
The Red Devils have been watching his situation closely and hope that they can land Alves. However, surely Alves is not a long term solution.

Van gaal? I think he is confused what is rafeal to him a ball boy or what? Rafeal has helped united a lot he is fast and passes well what does this coach want, and another thing is he shld stop signin already made plaayers but players who are eager to excel in a big club lyk man utd.
I don’t think Man U need any right back wen they have Rafael, Valencia, Mc Nair and Smalling. Van Gaal is just wasting money, busy signing players unnecessarily. He needs only a defensive midfielder to replace the ageing Michael Carrick and a player like Memphis Depay to improve the attack. He wasted so much money on Falcao with only four goals and loaned out Javier Hernadez who would have scored more than four goals if given the same number of games. Man U has the third best defensive side in the EPL yet is talking about wasting huge amopunt of money on a defender instead of bringing up Tom Thorpe and Paddy McNair. Look at Gibbs today in Arsenal, is one of the best left back in EPL who came thhrough their academy. Why not try Nick Powel as a defensive midfielder?
Better for real madrid to snap danilo than LVG wasting money signing unproductive stars who help man utd nothing but just scooping the club money. LVG should avoid greed, even the current squard are very strong inspite of his unpredictable line ups that are not helpful but only to destroy man utd image
