Manchester United have already been suffering from defensive problems since the start of the season. Despite of the signature of Marocs Rojo and Luke Shaw United still need a proper defender who can control the defence line.
Phil Jones and Jonny Evans are already out with their respective injures and now summer signing Rojo has also joined the injury list.
After the departure of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand, Unite have not brought any of their replacement.
While Arsenal are also interested in his services but reports claim that LVG's strong connections will help him to prefer the Old Trafford side over Arsenal as LVG has already worked with the Dutch centre-back during the World Cup days.
The 29-year-old will be out of contact at the end of this season and will not sign any deal if United show serious interest in him plus Aston Villa will sell him for a cheap price in January else he will leave them on a free transfer in the summer.
Vlaar has played 63 Premier League games for Aston Villa since his move from Feyenoord in 2012.
