Man United lining up move for 35km/h “total professional” to turbocharge their midfield

Manchester United are looking to build a new-look midfield unit in the summer, and they have identified Felix Nmecha as a target.

According to TEAMtalk, they want to sign the 25-year-old German midfielder, and it will be interesting to see whether they make an official offer. He has been a key player for Borussia Dortmund, and the German outfit will not want to lose him easily. They could demand a premium for his signature.

Felix Nmecha has excelled in Germany

Dortmund director Sebastian Kehl has labelled him as “an incredibly important player”.

Manchester United need more drive and creativity in the middle of the park, and the German International could be ideal for them. He has shown his capabilities in the Bundesliga, and he has the technical attributes for the Premier League as well. The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world will be tempting for him.

If Manchester United can sign him for a reasonable amount of money, it could be a superb investment for them. The player has all the tools to develop into a quality Premier League midfielder with the right guidance. Apart from his ability to create opportunities and drive the team forward, he can also help defensively. He is a towering midfielder with an imposing physique and genuine pace. The 6’3″ midfielder recorded a top speed of 35.4 km/h in the Bundesliga this season.

Niko Kovac describes him as “a meticulous worker, a total professional, and a great person”.

Meanwhile, Nmecha has come through the ranks at Manchester City. He might feel that he has unfinished business in the Premier League. He will look to make his mark with Manchester United and establish himself as a quality Premier League midfielder.
