Manchester United have eventually identified Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria as their long-term replacement to Ander Herrera, according to reports from Germany.
Ander Herrera was allowed to leave for free at the end of last season and joined Paris Saint-Germain.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Man United didn't sign a single midfielder in the summer transfer window, leaving them rather short in the centre of the park as injuries continue to build.
However, a report from publication Bild, claims that Man United are keen on Zakaria, a 22-year-old central midfielder who represents Switzerland on the international stage.
