Manchester United’s search for quality defenders continues and that is one department Van Gaal must reinforce next summer.
Having signed the likes of Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo last summer for left back and central defender position, the Dutch manager needs another central defender and a right full back to complete the set and he must bring in quality players.
For the right full back position, a highly rated Brazilian superstar Danilo is linked who currently plays for Portuguese club Porto.
The Primeira Liga side rates the 23 year old very highly as Danilo has a release clause of 36.3 million pounds in his contract.
According to reports, Manchester United have agreed to pay the asking price by activating the release clause and signing the talented defender in the summer transfer window.
United do have options to look in the premier league as well such as the likes of Seamus Coleman or Southampton’s Clyne but United are ready to pay that high an amount to bring in Danilo.
Whether or not he will be worth the money, only time will tell but Danilo has the potential to become the long term solution at right full back for Manchester United.
Adding to his defensive qualities, he has scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists for Porto this season, Danilo surely has what it takes to be productive in attack as well.
