Reports are out claiming that Manchester United have received a boost in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.
The Daily Star says Hummels could join Manchester United in January as he looks for an escape route out of Borussia Dortmund.
The German giants slumped to bottom of the Bundesliga following their eight defeat of the season at the weekend.
And while Dortmund are reluctant to lose the World Cup winner their poor position could prove costly.
Reports in Germany suggest Hummels is growing frustrated at his club’s horrendous form and that could play right into Louis van Gaal’s hands.
