Nicolas Otamendi
Another option for van Gaal in defence may well be Nicolas Otamendi, with the Red Devils understood to be keen admirers of the centre-back [International Business Times].

However, while moves for Schweinsteiger and Darmian appear to have been concluded quickly, movement is slow on Otamendi’s potential transfer.

It remains to be seen whether van Gaal is prepared to meet Valencia’s £38 million asking price for the player [again IB Times].
