Manchester United set to secure £16m defender signing in 'the next few hours'

Aleksandar Dragovic could sign for Manchester United

in the next few hours

The 24-year-old centre-back will join from Dynamo

Kiev in the next few hours.

United conceded three goals last night as they threw

away the lead twice against Newcastle at St James'

Park.

And Louis van Gaal is keen to bolster his pack this

month.

Sport Mediaset report that a £16million deal could be

complete shortly.

United dropped to sixth in the Premier League with

last night's draw and are two points behind Tottenham

in fourth who play their game in hand against

Leicester tonight.

Van Gaal is back under pressure after winning just

once in the last eight games.

But the Dutchman appears to still be planning ahead

with his transfer business.
