Having failed to recruit anyone in the January transfer window, perhaps because Ralf Rangnick is only expected to be there temporarily, Manchester United have to finish the season without any news faces.
This summer is expected to be different, however, as a number of players should be signed, although who could entirely depend on where the Red Devils finish the season.
If they qualify for the Champions League, then some will be more keen to give the Old Trafford adventure a go, including Niklas Süle.
The defender is running down his contract at Bayern Munich, with it believed he will sign elsewhere on a free, and Florian Plettenberg, speaking to Sky Germany, explained he could see the centre-back moving to Manchester United.
While the article revealed Chelsea were ‘particularly interested’, the journalist said: “I can’t imagine that, I would say it’s more towards Manchester United.”
That, however, could entirely rest on the fourth place dilemma, as the outlet make it clear that Volker Struth, the defender’s representative ‘explained that Süle will definitely also play Champions League football’ when he leaves Bayern Munich.
Therefore, it sounds like if Manchester United want to stand a chance of strengthening their backline with the German giant, they will need to get a few results between now and the end of the season, and see off the threat of Arsenal and Tottenham, right behind them in the table with one and two games in hand respectively.
