Manchester United are considering a move for Borussia Dortmund and Germany midfielder Julian Weigl.
United are determined to add a holding midfielder to their squad this summer and Jose Mourinho has outlined Tottenham’s Eric Dier and Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic as his two first options.
However, Tottenham are so far refusing to countenance any deal for England midfielder Dier while Chelsea will only consider allowing Matic to move on once they seal a move for Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko.
United remain privately confident of sealing a deal for Matic but the club will continue to monitor the German Weigl.
