‘There’s Better Out There’ ‘Rubbish’ United Fans React To Reports Of Double Bundesliga Transfer Raid

David Tully Oct 16th 2024

Manchester United are weighing up whether to sign two more players from Bayern Munich, according to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg.

After recruiting Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui last summer, the Red Devils are now said to be targeting Leon Goretzka and Leroy Sane ahead of the January transfer window.

While a few fans on X would be interested in signing the two players, the majority believe that United would be bringing in a couple of Bayern’s cast-offs:


The 2 Bayern players are on the market

Goretzka is no longer a key player for the Bundesliga giants. The German has played just one minute in the league so far this season.

Sane, meanwhile, is nearing the end of his contract. At the moment, the former Manchester City winger is unlikely to sign an extension so he could be let go for a cut-price deal in January. Alternatively, he will be available for free next summer.

United need to strengthen their right flank

While a replacement for Christian Eriksen is probably going to be needed, Goretzka is not that much younger than the Denmark international. He will be 30 in February so Erik ten Hag‘s side may be wise to steer clear of him.

An approach for Sane is a different matter. He is a left-footed winger and he would be an upgrade on someone like Antony, who has struggled over the last two seasons.
