Borussia Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji, linked with Manchester United, is understood to be considering moving to the Premier League.
Man United’s defence has been nothing short of shambolic this campaign. Despite the acquisition of Raphael Varane over the summer, the Red Devils are still short of a backline they can rely on.
Harry Maguire’s shortfalls have been well documented, with Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly’s futures as Man United players both unclear. They could find themselves in the market for a new model this summer.
According to Goal, Borussia Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji, who plays his football internationally for Switzerland, is one player who Man United could look to bring through the door in the upcoming transfer market.
The good news from Man United’s perspective is that reliable reports in Germany suggest that Akanji is considering a move to the Premier League this summer. Could the stars (finally) be aligning in the Red Devils’ favour?
“Manuel Akanji has said he would like to take the next step and is considering a move to England.”
