ReyIllmatic Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Since the summer window Manchester United’s Louis van Gaal has been looking for a quality central defender and it seems like the wait is finally over. Despite being eager to secure the services of German star Mats Hummels last summer, the Dutch manager failed. Signing the Dortmund captain in mid-season was always going to be difficult hence United looked at other options as well, and it seems that they reached a deal to sign another defender. Miranda is set to sign for Manchester United with his heart set on Old Trafford move, according to reports. At the end of this season the Atletico Madrid defender’s contract will expire and as per the provided link, they will accept €25m bid from Manchester United. Even though Miranda has a release clause of €30 million transfer fee but letting him go for free at the end of the season is definitely not worth it and hence the Spanish champions are prepared to agree deal with Man United. Last season the 30 year old experienced star was one of Atletico’s key defender that helped them win La Liga and reach the final of the Champions League. Atletico have already lost their first choice left back Luis to Chelsea in the summer but Simeone has the solution to everything it looks and they can do without Miranda as well with Godin leading the line. Before they look for another central defender United and Van Gaal will expect that Miranda still has several years of top football left in him.
