Manchester United CLOSE in to Sign Star for $27m

It is no mystery that Manchester United must reinforce their defense in the summer window and a central defender signing is mandatory.
David de Gea has been the best player for the club this season and he has been responsible to save United many a times this season when the defense has faltered.
However, to challenge the best of teams and for titles, the Red Devils must strengthen their defense. Numerous central defenders have been linked with a move to Old Trafford lately.
German international and Borussia Dortmund captain Mats Hummels is one of the names. Then there is Argentine Nicolas Otamendi of Valencia another.
The latest reports suggest that Van Gaal is now keen to sign a Dutch international for the central defensive position and the player linked is Lazio star Stefan de Vrij.
The 23 year old Netherlands star was a key part of Van Gaal’s World Cup side that finished third last year. De Vrij, Vlaar and Martins Indi formed a brilliant central defense partnership for the Dutch as they were rock solid at the back.
De Vrij has been in top form for Lazio and played every minute of the last 6 back to back victories for the Serie A side. In those games, De Vrij helped Lazio keep 5 clean sheets as well.
As per the provided link, Manchester United are to close in with a $27 million move to sign De Vrij in the summer transfer window.
