Daily Express understands that Manchester United will bid for Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar in the winter.
It is no secret the Red Devils are in desperate need of defensive reinforcements and the Dutch defender is someone new boss Louis van Gaal knows all to well.
The experienced centre-back was one of Netherlands’ star performers at the 2014 World Cup and van Gaal now hopes to get reunited with the player at Old Trafford.
Given that Vlaar’s current deal at Villa Park is due to expire in the summer, Manchester United hope to sign the stopper for a nominal fee in January.
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert is doing everything he can to persuade Vlaar to extend his deal, but it is unlikely that the Netherlands international will be able to resist the temptation of moving to Old Trafford.
The 29-year-old will not be on the pitch when Oranje face Iceland on the road tomorrow evening, where away win pays 13/20.
