Spanish newspaper La Tercera has claimed Louis Van Gaal has put the coveted number aside for Vidal.
The No.7 has most recently had been worn by Antonio Valencia.
However, he gave up the most prestigious shirt in United's history last year after a difficult year wearing it.
Greats including George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo have all hauled it on in the past.Vidal's move to Old Trafford edged closer last night after his agent jetted in to finalise a switch.
It is understood United have tabled a four-year £120,000-a-week deal, which will double the 27-year-old's current salary.
Vidal's representative Fernando Felicevich held crunch talks with Juventus on Monday and demanded they match United's lucrative offer.
United would have to break their £37.1m transfer record - set by David Moyes when he bought Juan Mata in January - to get him.
