Manchester United 'considering move for Thomas Meunier' and more transfer rumours

Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Borussia Dortmund right-back Thomas Meunier.

Currently, United are lacking options in that position with Diogo Dalot the only player in Erik ten Hag's plans who specialises in that role. Meunier, 30, has previously spoken about his fondness for the Reds.

Speaking back in April, the ex-PSG man explained that United are a 'unique club' and in 2018 he said that he had 'always been a fan' of the Reds. According to The Telegraph, a fee of approximately €15m has been proposed for the Belgian.

United may well have to fend off competition from Barcelona should they want to seal his signature as the La Liga giants are also thought to have reignited their interest in Meunier. The full-back's current contract at Dortmund expires in 2024 and a move to Old Trafford reportedly may only be considered if the club manages to sell Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The report adds that a deal with Wan-Bissaka's former club Crystal Palace could be reached. The Englishman is firmly out of Ten Hag's plans and the club hope that they can sell or loan the 24-year-old this summer.

It is reported that Palace could be willing to pay £10m for Wan-Bissaka, significantly less than the £50m they sold him for. Ten Hag is thought to be wanting a right-back who could compete with Dalot this season and it is said that Meunier is more likely to do that than Wan-Bissaka.
