Metro have acted like coffee for Manchester United fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern as they put them on red alert by spilling the beans on a contract impasse that could well be a huge boost for the Red Devils.
Aston Villa’s Ron Vlaar is currently refusing to sign a new deal with the struggling club and given his current deal runs out at the end of the season, you can see where the problem lies.
Vlaar is not only keen to test himself at a bigger club – and Manchester United would certainly represent that – but he also wants to increase his current weekly wage of £40,000 per week.
United have tracked the defender all season and considering he is someone manager Louis van Gaal already knows from their time together with the Dutch national side, our regulars think that a move makes perfect sense for all involved.
United could well face some competition from Southampton but as our landlord quips, that’s not much of a choice really!
