Man Utd join race to sign coveted German teenager

Man Utd are the latest club to show interest in Freiburg's talented defender Matthias Ginter. United are ready to battle Arsenal for the 19 year old.

Ginter is widely regarded as the best young up and coming centre back in Germany and had been widely tipped to join Arsenal last summer.

Ginter has so far pledged his short term future to his current club Freiburg, but there are fresh reports from Germany indicating a strong interest from Manchester United.

Freiburg are desperate to keep Ginter but talk of a 17 million Euro bid will prove hard to resist.
