Manchester United and Arsenal eye January move for Arne Maier

19-year-old German midfielder Arne Maier plays for Hertha Berlin, but he has a few bigger names watching him.

Both Manchester United and Arsenal are considering making a move in the January transfer window for Maier, according to The Sun.

Similar rumours arose in September, but with January approaching and a decent few games in the Bundesliga under his belt since then, there is some renewed interest.
