Manchester United – Top Midfield Target has Already Agreed Deal

Manchester United are in search of a strong defensive midfielder or a versatile midfield star who can play as a solid DM as well as a creative CM.
United already have decent players in their midfield. Ander Herrera improved big time and is now Van Gaal’s preferred central midfielder.
Blind and Carrick were mainly used as defensive midfielders but the duo are not string play breakers in front of the back four. They are mainly good passers of the ball and can effectively play as deep lying playmakers.
Hence, the Red Devils must sign someone who can form a solid cover in front of the back four. One such player is Manchester United’s target and one of Louis van Gaal’s favorite players i.e. Nigel de Jong.
However, Red Devils will have to look elsewhere as De Jong has already agreed deal with current club AC Milan to extend his stay at San Siro for two more years.
The former Manchester City star has been a key player for the Rossoneri over the past few years and was brilliant for Netherlands under the management of Louis van Gaal during the FIFA World Cup 2014.
De Jong will turn 31 later this year and although his best days are behind him, the Dutch star is still an effective DM.
Manchester United are linked with three versatile players who can fill in that role as previously published on the site.
