Man Utd in pole position to sign Dortmund star

Manchester United are apparently considered front-runners to sign Borussia Dortmund midfield star Ilkay Gundogan in the summer.

La Liga giants Barcelona who were initially regarded as possible destination for the talented German international, have been recently punished with a year-long transfer embargo for breaching regulations regarding the recruitment of young players.

 

According to The Daily Star, the Red Devils are now favourites to land the former Real Madrid man during the summer transfer window, with his future at BVB in doubt beyond the current campaign.

 

The 23-year-old has not featured for Dortmund since August 2013 due to a back injury.
