Man United transfer blow: Summer deal in doubt over agent switch

Italian outlet Il Messaggero previously claimed that De Vrij, 25, has already agreed a deal to join United this summer.

But they now believe that any pre-agreement could count for little because the Dutchman is set to switch agents.

He is said to be considering ditching SEG, who brokered Memphis Depay's recent Old Trafford exit.

De Vrij was apparently seen having dinner with Pierpaolo Triulzi, the agent of Juventus starlet Paulo Dybala.

And Il Messaggero reckon the change could mean that the Red Devils will have to begin negotiations from scratch.

De Vrij joined Lazio from Feyenoord in 2014.
