Ajax have slapped a £20 million price-tag on Manchester United targetDaley Blind.

The Sun says Ajax have told United they'll have to stump up £20million for Blind.

The 24-year-old impressed at the World Cup under van Gaal and has been linked heavily with move to follow him to Manchester.

However, Ajax don't want to let their versatile defender-*****-midfielder leave on the cheap, and are prepared to make United wait to get their man.

MAN UTD WILLING TO SEND KAGAWA TO JUVENTUS IN VIDAL SWAP

Manchester United are weighing up using Shinji Kagawa as a makeweight in their deal for Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal.

The Independent says Kagawa, whom manager Louis van Gaal pointedly declared at the weekend had been incapable of operating in a new designated central position, could possibly be used to secure a breakthrough, with the £32m the Turin side are likely to want seemingly unrealistic.

With AC Milan's Nigel de Jong not on United's list, Vidal appears to be Van Gaal's only option, though the Ajax player Daley Blind - another possible 11th-hour target - can also operate in midfield.

Kagawa is also a target for Peter Lim's Valencia this week.

VAN GAAL PUSHES MAN UTD TO CLOSE BLIND DEAL WITH AJAX

Manchester United are pushing to sign Ajax utility Daley Blind this week.

While they spend today haggling over a fee with Real Madrid for Angel di Maria, United are also in contact with Ajax for Blind's price.

United manager Louis van Gaal has made the versatile Blind a priority signing and wants a deal done before their clash with Burnley.

With concerns at wing-back and in defensive midfield, Van Gaal sees Blind's arrival as vital to his playing system this season.

The Dutchman has two years to run on his Ajax deal and refused to rule out leaving the Amsterdam Arena last week.
