Without injuries, Marco Reus would have been feted as one of the finest midfield players of his generation, even a potential Ballon d’Or winner.
Unfortunately the gifted 33-year-old has missed out on his share of glory, most notably Germany’s World Cup triumph in 2014.
In terms of talent however, he had it all, an attacking and creative midfielder with an eye for goal. And with Erik ten Hag showing that experience has a key role to play at Manchester United, it’s not a surprise that a move to Old Trafford is one of the possibilities when his contract with Borussia Dortmund runs out this summer.
