Man United prime target for the January transfer window comes in the form of Borussia Dortmund’s Mats Hummels, who is the man Louis van Gaal wants to build his defence around.
Currently, with Phil Jones suffering with injury concerns, van Gaal has had to resort to using youngster Tyler Blackett and off form Northern Irishman Jonny Evans and Hummels would be a huge improvement in the central defensive area.
Having seen his Westfalenstadion side fall behind domestic rivals, and former club, Bayern Munich dominate domestically Hummels could be open to a fresh challenge and Man United will launch a £25m bid for the World Cup winner in January.
