Nicolas Gaitan’s representative has indicated that a transfer to Manchester United for his client is a distinct possibility and said that they are waiting for a response from the English giants.
The Argentine winger has been consistently linked with a move to Manchester United over the last few years but nothing has transpired yet.
Rumours of Manchester United’s interest surfaced again this summer and there has been speculation that the Benfica hierarchy have held talks with Manchester United officials over a move for the 27-year-old.
The trail has been blowing hot and cold on the particular transfer saga over the past few months but it seems that the Argentina could still complete his move to Old Trafford this summer.
Jose Irribarren, one of Gaitan's representatives, has claimed that talks have taken place with Manchester United over his client and the Argentine is waiting for the Red Devils to make the next move.
