United set to sign Dutch defender after rejecting Lazio
United could be in line to snap up highly-rated Dutch defender Steven De Vrij after the player reportedly turned down on offer from Serie A giants Lazio, the Daily Mail reports.
United had been keen on the youngster for some time, and had appeared to have lost the race earlier in the summer as he closed in on a move to Italy.
Van Gaal currently has the player under his charge with the national team and is now in the driving seat to bring him to Old Trafford.
