The Metro claims that the Holland international is surplus to requirements at the Parc des Princes and will leave the club in the summer.

Van der Wiel has made 32 appearances under Laurent Blanc this season, but the Metro also believes that Arsenal's Mathieu Debuchy is the man set to replace him at the Ligue 1 outfit.

Van Gaal knows Van der Wiel from their time together in the Dutch set-up, and the Red Devils manager is apparently ready to pay £9million to complete the deal.

It is added that Rafael is looking at an Old Trafford exit, and that the 27-year-old will compete with Antonio Valencia for a place in defence.
