Louis van Gaal has put an offer in for the unsettled Belgian defender this summer, according to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Manchester United have lodged a bid for Thomas Vermaelen, Arsene Wenger has revealed.
Louis van Gaal is keen to bring in another centre-back to rotate with Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans in his preferred 3-5-2 formation.
Vermaelen, who struggled to secure a regular first-team place for the Gunners last season, has been identified as a top target in that position.
And his manager has now revealed that United have firmed up their interest by making an offer.
"Manchester United are part of the group [of bidders]. He could leave," he said.
