Man Utd to sign Stefan de Vrij

Manchester United are reportedly set to secure the services of Feyenoord defender Stefan de Vrij this summer, according to a report.

The Netherlands international has had a great tim at the World Cup finals in Brazil, having scored in his country's 5-1 thrashing of defending champions Spain.

According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, the 22-year-old, who has just a year left in his contract with the Eredivisie outfit, will join the Red Devils following an agreement over an £8m transfer fee.

De Vrij looks likely to become manager Louis van Gaal's third recruit of the summer, having already signed Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw from Athletic Bilbao and Southampton respectively.
