Dejan Lovren (Southampton)
Whilst United are yet to be reported as entering the race for Southampton centre back Dejan Lovren, we think that van Gaal would be well-advised to consider the Croatian as a possible partner for de Vrij.
The classy centre back has twelve months’ valuable Premier League experience under his belt, something that many of the potential signings do not possess, whilst he would also be likely to be available for a relatively manageable fee.
