Man Utd boss Van Gaal targets AC Milan midfielder De Jong

Manchester United are being linked with AC Milan midfielder Nigel de Jong.

The former Manchester City midfielder played for United boss Louis van Gaal in the World Cup with Holland.

De Jong's Milan deal expires at the end of the season - and he is currently free to discuss terms with foreign teams.

Leggo says Van Gaal is keen on bringing De Jong back to Manchester for next season.

The United manager has recognised his midfield lacks a ball winner in the mould of De Jong.
