Manchester United are making a late push to sign midfielder Nigel de Jong before the transfer window closes, Goal understands.
United are set to confirm the signing of Ajax's Daley Blind on Monday after agreeing terms on a £13.8 million deal with the Dutch club.
But the Red Devils could still bring in the 29-year-old AC Milan man in an £8m deal, in a bid to further bolster their midfield options.
As revealed by Goal, Ed Woodward, United's executive vice-chairman, first met with De Jong's representatives in London earlier in August.
Talks between Woodward and De Jong's camp are understood to have progressed over the following weeks, with the player keen to link up with Louis van Gaal, who coached the former Manchester City midfielder while in charge of Netherlands.
