According to the latest reports, Manchester United have agreed a shocking 21million move for the key Chelsea target Nicolas Gaitan.
Benfica star was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge with Willian heading in the opposite direction. However, Chelsea took way too much time to place a bid for the player and that helped Manchester United to seal the transfer for Argentine winger.
A Bola has also confirmed the news that, the announcement for Gaitan’s move to Manchester United will be made this Friday after the taca da liga final.
According to A Bola, Benfica president Luis Filipe flew to England earlier this week to conclude transfers for Nicolas Gaitan and Eduardo Savio. However, Savio’s long-term injury has put off Liverpool from making a move for the striker.
However, Luis Filipe did discuss Gaitan’s transfer with Manchester United and the Red Devils have sensationally agreed to sign the 27-year-old winger.

Manchester United have been in Gaitan’s pursuit for last 3 seasons and Sir Alex Ferguson was believed to be a great admirer of the Argentine winger,
Another reason for Gaitan’s move to United is seen to help the unsettled Angel Di Maria to stay put at Old Trafford. Di Maria is very close friends with Nico Gaitan and his move would ensure that Di Maria stays put and regains his form.
One can expect the announcement for Gaitan’s move to Manchester United to be made this Friday after the taca da liga final.
