Van Gaal worked as manager of the Dutch national team until making the move to Old Trafford last summer, and brought in Daley Blind from Ajax as one of his first steps to bringing an Oranje flavour to the team.

More similar signings could be set to follow this summer, with these three Holland stars among the club’s main transfer targets…

1) Memphis Depay (PSV)

One of the best young players in Europe at the moment, PSV forward Memphis Depay has been strongly linked with Manchester United and Liverpool after some scintilating form in the Eredivisie this term and could cost around £20m.

2) Kevin Strootman (AS Roma)

One of the best midfielders in Serie A, AS Roma playmaker Kevin Strootman has emerged as a top priority target for United as well this summer, though he has had some injury problems that could put the transfer into doubt.

3) Stefan de Vrij (Lazio)

Although Manchester United have made an £18m bid to sign Lazio centre-back Stefan de Vrij, though it has been rejected. Still, the 23-year-old clearly impressed van Gaal with his displays for Holland at last summer’s World Cup and could continue to be one of the club’s long-term targets.
