Van Gaal wants De Vrij at United

Incoming Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is keen to add Stefan de Vrij to the Dutch revolution at Old Trafford according to widespread reports.

The 22-year-old defender has been a vital part of Van Gaal’s Netherlands squad at the World Cup squad and would provide versatility at United - he can play at centre-back or full-back.

De Vrij scored in the Holland’s 5-1 demolition of Spain in their opening group gamein Brazil and would cost £8m to bring to Manchester from current club Feyenoord.
