Manchester United “interested” in Schalke starlet Leon Goretzka

Wow, what a signing this would be

Leon Goretzka has been making headlines ever since he made his Schalke debut in 2013.

It was only a matter of time before Manchester United started snooping around, and Sky Sports have reported this morning that the Red Devils are interested in the young German, much to the excitement of United fans.

Although, United are linked with a lot of players and several clubs are after Goretzka. United will likely face tough competition from Bayern Munich as the German champions look to bolster their midfield depth too.

Goretzka’s contract is running down and in the summer of 2018 he will be available to sign on a free transfer and won’t be short of options.

The 22-year-old central-midfielder would add more dynamism and creativity to the United midfield, and standing at 6 foot 3 inches, Mourinho will love his physical presence.

The player is enjoying an excellent start to the season, having already racked up 4 goals in 10 games from central midfield, helping push Schalke up to third as they become the latest team to attempt to break Bayern’s monopoly of the Bundesliga.
