Reports: Man United make a late move for AC Milan enforcer Nigel de Jong

De Jong
Man United are to make a late move for AC Milan enforcer Nigel de Jong, according to Goal.
The Red Devils are likely to confirm a move for Daley Blind tomorrow, following Man United and Ajax agreeing a £13.8 million fee for the versatile World Cup sensation.

Man United have been eagerly looking for midfielders this summer and have been linked with a number of players this summer. The Red Devils have been linked with the likes of Kevin Strootman, Arturo Vidal and Fredy Guarin. Goal report Man United are preparing a late move for De Jong, after being frustrated in their chase for Vidal.
However, if reports are to believed,  Man United will make a last gasp move for the former Man City powerhouse. Louis van Gaal could be boosted in his chase for De Jong, after AC Milan confirmed that midfield maestro Marco van Ginkel is set to join the Serie A giants from Chelsea.
De Jong and Van Gaal both worked together during their time with the Dutch national team. Furthermore, during the 2014 Brazil World Cup the midfield enforcer played a key role in the Man United bosses 3-5-2 system, a factor which could explain why Van Gaal wants him.
