Here's all the latest Manchester United-related transfer stories from the day's papers and across the web...

De Vrij is de one

Stefan de Vrij is set to be Louis van Gaal’s first signing for Manchester United, writes Simon Mullock.

De Vrij, the Holland centre-back, is refusing to sign for Lazio because he believes he will soon be reunited with Van Gaal at the Old Trafford giants.

The Feyenoord star, 22, has been assured that the Dutch boss is ready to sanction a £10million bid.

Lazio have launched a bid to take De Vrij to Italy, but Sunday Mirror Sport understands he is reluctant to talk to them because he is desperate to join United.

Blind battle

Manchester United and Barcelona are set to do battle over left-back Daley Blind, according to reports in Spain.

The 24-year-old - who plays his club football with Ajax - enjoyed a fine World Cup with Holland and scored in the third-place play-off win over Brazil.

New United boss Louis van Gaal sees his versatility as a major asset, with Blind also able to play as a holding midfielder.

And according to Mundo Deportivo, the player is on the radar of both the Red Devils and Barcelona, who are considering €22million (£17m) bids.

Sunday's Manchester United stories from other newspapers and websites...

Cuadrado approach made

Manchester United have made contact with Fiorentina with regards to signing Juan Cuadrado, according to the Daily Express.

The Red Devils are now expected to launch a £30million bid next week for the Colombian World Cup star.

Louis van Gaal has revealed that he wants to spend up to four weeks assessing his new squad, but is believed to be behind the club's interest in the winger.

Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also said to be tracking the progress of the star.

Vermaelen boost

Man United have received a huge boost in their pursuit of Thomas Vermaelen after Arsene Wenger admitted he is not guaranteed to stay at the club.

When asked about the central defender's future, Wenger told Arsenal's official website: "I cannot guarantee that but should he go, I will bring another centre back in for sure."

The Belgian World Cup star has just one year left on his Arsenal contract and is yet to sign a new deal, as United prepare a £10million bid.

Vermaelen is widely expected to be the second Arsenal player to leave for Old Trafford in recent times, following Robin van Persie.

Nani goodbye?

According to the Daily Express, AC Milan have enquired about signing experienced winger Nani from the Red Devils.

However, the San Siro outfit are not impressed with the £11million asking price for the Portuguese winger.

The 27-year-old signed a new five-year deal at Old Trafford last September, as United look to recoup as much money as possible for the star.

Juventus have also registered their interest in the former Sporting Lisbon man, but both clubs could wait to the end of the transfer window to see if United's price tag drops.
