He is at the peak of his career, and he has the experience and leadership qualities as well. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United follows up on their interest with an offer to sign the player.

The opportunity to move to the Premier League at this stage of his career could be quite exciting for Anton. Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they might be able to provide him with the platform to fight for trophies next season. Manchester United have shown significant improvement in recent weeks and are expected to secure Champions League qualification for next season. They need to keep improving the team if they want to compete with elite clubs next season.

Players like Matthijs de Ligt have suffered from persistent injury problems, and Manchester United need more depth in the defensive unit. Harry Maguire is in his 30s as well. Anton could be a very handy option for Manchester United. It remains to be seen whether the German club is willing to sanction his departure for a reasonable fee.

For now, the player will focus on finishing the season strongly with Dortmund and securing his place in Germany’s World Cup squad.
