Bundesliga star dreams of Manchester United transfer

Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer dreams of joining Manchester United in either January or next summer.

The Swiss has been one of the best shot-stoppers in German top-flight football but he is now eyeing a fresh challenge elsewhere.

His current deal with Gladbach expires in June next year and Bild claim that the 34-year-old has no plans of penning a renewal.

Sommer wants to realise his England dream with United but it is unclear whether they will attempt to land him in January.

The Red Devils want a strong competitor to De Gea and Sommer would be a perfect fit with his better distribution and mobility.

He would also command lesser wages compared to a young signing, but it remains to be seen whether they land him this winter.

United will have to pay around €5m to pursue him in January while he could be available on a free transfer at the end of the season.

A decision may depend on the manager's demands. Sommer could be signed in January if Martin Dubravka's loan deal is terminated.
