Man Utd edge nearer to capture of AC Milan's de Jong

AC Milan midfielder Nigel de Jong is believed to be set to join Manchester United this summer.

Reports suggest that the 30-year old Holland international will depart the San Siro at the end of the season to join United as a free agent where he will reunite with former Oranje boss Louis van Gaal.

Despite the report, however, ex-Manchester City man de Jong is unsure what the future holds him after three years with the Rossoneri.

"I haven't decided yet and I don't know when I will make that decision," De Jong told nu.nl.

"It could be at the end of April or at the end of the season. First of all I want to figure out what Milan's plans are to get back to being the great club of the past.

"It's still too early to say where I'll be playing next term. It could be Milan, Ajax or another club. There are several options, as I will be a free agent.

"I'll take a little time so that I can make the best decision."
