Manchester United transfer news and rumours: Premier League rivals to win Mehdi Benatia race?
Louis van Gaal is almost ready to make his Premier League bow but will the Dutchman make more signings before the close of the transfer window...
Here's our wrap of the latest United stories in today's Daily Mirror and across the web on Monday...
Dutch star would consider move
Dutch international Daley Blind has admitted he would consider a move to Manchester United.
The 24-year-old impressed under Louis van Gaal at the World Cup and has been linked with following him to Old Trafford.
Sunday Mirror Sport revealed Ajax were preparing themselves for a £15million bid for Blind from the fallen Premier League champions and had already lined up a replacement.
And while he admits he is settled in Holland, the left-back isn't willing to close the door on a switch to United.
Sky Sports News quote Blind as saying: "I am happy here in Amsterdam. But if there comes another club I will have to think about it and then we will see.
"I will think about my options. For now I will focus on Ajax and we will see what happens next week."
Tuesday's Manchester United stories from other newspapers and websites
Chelsea to scoop £30million defensive target
According to the Daily Star, Roma defender Mehdi Benatia is a United target - but could be heading to Chelsea in a £30million deal.
The Moroccan international starred for the Giallorossi last season, but has been training alone this summer after entering into a dispute with the club's hierarchy.
A number of clubs, including United and Manchester City, have reportedly been keen on the former Udinese man, with Louis van Gaal running out of time in his pursuit of new centre-backs.
But now Chelsea have apparently jumped to the head of the queue, with Jose Mourinho yet to replace David Luiz following his sale.
Naples for Fellaini
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Marouane Fellaini's United hell could soon be coming to a close.
The Belgian international - signed for £27.5million by David Moyes last summer - is reportedly close to a move to Napoli.
Rafa Benitez will supposedly take Fellaini on a season-long loan deal, with United paying half of his wages during that time.
Henriquez heads out
Young Chile striker Angelo Henriquez has left the club for a third loan spell, joining Dinamo Zagreb.
The 20-year-old will spend the season on loan in Croatia, following spells at Wigan and Real Zaragoza, having not made a singled first-team appearance for United.
“I have a lot of motivation and I want to prove myself and I believe Dinamo is a great club for it,” he told reporters at his unveiling.
