Manchester United are planning a move for Schalke 04 defender Benedikt Howedes in the January transfer window, Goal.com reports.
The talented defender played in all seven games for Germany as they were crowned World champions in Brazil over the summer.
According to Goal.com, United boss Louis van Gaal has sent scouts to watch Howedes in action, as he believes that the player's versatility of playing at either left-back or central defence could be of a benefit at Old Trafford.
The report adds that the Mancunian giants will make a tempting offer in the region of £14m for the 26-year-old when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
