Sign in to your GiveMeSport account Manchester United are in the market to sign a Bundesliga defender in the summer transfer window, according to reports in Germany.

A large percentage of the discourse surrounding United at the moment is around the pursuit of a number of different midfielders.

The Red Devils will likely strengthen in multiple different positions, but it appears that the midfield is a priority position at the moment.

It's unclear what their next priority will be after bringing in midfielders, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them reinforce the whole squad.

United are back in the Champions League, which means they'll need a deeper and more competitive squad to deal with the hectic and more difficult fixture schedule.

Man Utd are pushing to sign a new midfielder.

According to reports in Germany, Manchester United are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton in the summer transfer window.

Michael Carrick, in particular, is believed to be a big fan of the 29-year-old, but Dortmund have no intention of letting him leave in the summer.

Anton isn't believed to be pushing for an exit at the moment, while he is also tied down to a contract until 2028.

Anton, described as 'every coach's dream' by Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß, played 32 times in the Bundesliga for Dortmund last season and also made nine Champions League appearances.

Signing a centre-back is likely to be low down on United's shortlist heading into the summer transfer window. Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, Ayden Heaven and Matthijs de Ligt are Carrick's current options at the back. It makes little sense to prioritise a move for a new defender unless somebody is set to leave.

Heaven and Yoro are young talents who are yet to reach their full potential, but they are still more than capable of being squad players and making an impact regularly.

If the opportunity arises to bring in a new defender, United might take it, but it feels unlikely that they will go all out to bring one in this summer.
