Manchester United transfer news: Nicolas Gaitan in talks over Old Trafford move, reveals agent Benfica forward Nicolas Gaitan is in talks over a summer move to Manchester United, according to his agent. The 27-year-old Argentine was first linked with a move to Old Trafford during Sir Alex Ferguson’s tenure and, two managers on, United may finally be getting their man. Speaking to Portuguese publication A Bola, Gaitan’s agent has claimed that Louis van Gaal’s side are in negotiations with Benfica over a move for the forward.
“Everything is possible,” Jose Irribarran told A Bola. “There’s a negotiation pending with Manchester United.” “The player wants everything to go as smoothly as possible, We’re waiting for an answer from the vice-president. I can’t really say anything else.” Should Gaitan arrive, it would represent United’s second attacking foray into the transfer market following the acquisition of Memphis Depay from PSV.
