Ajax star Daley Blind is also being lined up
Completing the three-man wishlist for United along with the two Argentinians di Maria and Rojo is this versatile Netherlands international, according to the Mirror.
Van Gaal is a big fan of Blind having worked with him for the past two years as part of the Dutch national team.
The 24-year-old is another versatile option with the capabilities to operate at left-back, in central defence, or as a defensive midfielder and he has admitted he could leave the Amsterdam ArenA this summer.
