It’s believed that Milan are not keen on renewing the contract of the Dutch midfielder, which expires in the summer, and he has previously been linked with a return to the English Premier League.
Calcionews24 believes that Red Devils manager Van Gaal, who coached the 30-year-old at international level, has specifically asked the Old Trafford hierarchy to sign the player as he looks to bolster his midfield.
The site believes that the Rossoneri have been unimpressed by the former Manchester City man’s recent displays, with Coach Filippo Inzaghi believing he has been caught out of position on a number of occasions.
While Ignazio Abate is thought to be close to renewing his contract, it’s thought that De Jong will not be offered a new deal.
