Man Utd turn attention to PSG right-back van der Wiel

Manchester United are poised to make a move for Gregory van der Wiel according to reports.

<i>Le Parisien</i> reports that the Red Devils are showing significant interest in the Dutch defender after missing out on Dani Alves who has signed a two-year extension with European champions Barcelona.

United boss Louis van Gaal is determined to land a quality right-back this summer and is likely to set his sights on 27-year old van der Wiel, especially after being rejected by Alves and with Southampton playing hardball over Nathaniel Clyne.

The <i>Daily Mail</i> also reports that United have been given the option to sign van der Wiel for £7million.

It is believed that Italian club AS Roma are also considerably interested in Holland international van der Wiel who joined PSG from Ajax in 2012.
