The Dutch international, who impressed under the management of United boss Louis van Gaal for the Netherlands at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, is available on a free transfer next summer as his Villa contract continues to move towards expiry – potentially making him a bargain during the January window.
Both United and Arsenal are in vital need of defensive reinforcements in January, with United having been destroyed by Leicester City and Jamie Vardy at the weekend, whilst the Gunners were forced to field Hector Bellerin in their Champions League tie last week due to a lack of depth at the back.
