Manchester United are interested in signing the Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old is facing an uncertain future at the German club, and Manchester United are hoping to capitalise on his situation and secure his services.

Man United begin work on Nico Schlotterbeck move

Manchester United need a quality long-term replacement for Harry Maguire, and the German international would be ideal. He has shown that he is a reliable defender, and he has the physicality and technical attributes for English football as well. Apart from his defensive qualities, he is excellent on the ball, and his distribution skills could add a new dimension to Manchester United.

Schlotterbeck move could be ideal for all parties

Given his contract situation, he could be available for a reasonable sum in the summer. The opportunity to move to England could be exciting for him, and Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world. The Premier League side is confident that it can present a financial and sporting offer that will be irresistible to the German international.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The player has been linked with multiple clubs over the last few months. Manchester United must act quickly if they want to win the race for his signature. The 26-year-old is likely to be a hot commodity in the market this summer. Schlotterbeck has been hailed as “outstanding” by Julian Nagelsmann.
