Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is weighing up a move for AC Milan midfielder Nigel de Jong. United are determined to add one more midfielder to their squad this summer following the capture of Ander Herrera, with Van Gaal feeling that his new side requires bite and steel in the central acres to complement the composure of players such as Michael Carrick and Tom Cleverley. Arturo Vidal of Juventus is the dream solution and Sportsmail revealed on Friday that United have made tentative enquiries over the possible signing of the Chilean midfielder.
