Man Utd have already made offer for Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Manchester United have already made an offer to sign Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen ahead of the January transfer window, according to El Desmarque in Spain.

The Red Devils signed Senne Lammens to bolster the goalkeeping department last summer, and he has proven a superb signing for the club thus far.

Lammens has kept only one clean sheet from five league appearances, but the Belgium international has shown plenty of calmness between the sticks.

Despite this, the club continue to be linked with shot-stoppers and reports claim that they are in talks to bring Ter Stegen at the turn of the year.

The German has been out since July with a back surgery, but he is anticipated to return to La Liga action by the middle of December.

However, there is no guarantee that he will be the first-choice in goal ahead of summer signing Joan Garcia, who has been a revelation so far.

Ter Stegen requires regular playing time ahead of the World Cup, and it remains to be seen whether United can assure him minutes.
