Man Utd ‘considering’ Borussia Dortmund swoop with pair ‘expected’ to leave

Manchester United beat Wolves 2-0 at home over the weekend courtesy of goals by Anthony Martial and Alejandro Garnacho. The Red Devils remain 4th in the Premier League table above Liverpool.

They are behind 3rd position Newcastle United on goal difference ahead of their next game against Bournemouth away on Saturday afternoon. In the meantime, here is a look at some of the latest transfer news and rumours regarding the club...

Pair to depart

United are ‘expected’ to cut ties with Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe this summer when their deals expire, as detailed in a report by the Manchester Evening News. The latter spent the second-half of this season on loan at Stoke City in the Championship after being given the green light to temporarily depart during the January transfer window and went on to make five appearances in all competitions for the Potters.

Jones, 31, made the switch to Old Trafford as a youngster back in 2011 after catching the eye at Blackburn Rovers. He has since played 229 games but his time with the club has been plagued by injuries so a fresh start somewhere else would do him good.

Goalkeeper linked

United are being linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. According to a report by The Independent, the Red Devils are ‘considering’ a swoop for the 25-year-old with number one David de Gea’s long-term future still up in the air right now.

Kobel, who is a Switzerland international with four caps under his belt, was snapped up by his current club in 2021 from fellow Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart and has adapted well to life at Signal Iduna Park, making 72 appearances altogether to date. Dortmund could face a battle to keep hold of him in the next transfer window though.
