Reports are out claiming that German legend Franz Beckenbauer has backed Borussia Dortmund skipper Mats Hummels to move to England.
Hummels is expected to sign for Manchester United this summer.
And Beckenbauer, who is honorary president of BVB’s bitter rivals Bayern Munich, says it’s the right time for the defender to leave for the Premier League.
“At 26, Hummels is at the best age to make the move to England,” he told Bild.
“I can understand his thinking well.”
