Wait 5 sec.

Leon Goretzka has been heavily linked with a move away from Bayern Munich at the end of the season.His contract with the German champions expires in June, and Manchester United are interested in securing his signature. They will compete with Arsenal for the 31-year-old German International, according to reports from SportWitness.Goretzka has been a reliable performer for club and country in recent seasons, and there is no doubt he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League. He will add defensive cover, physicality and drive in the middle of the park. Manchester United need someone of his quality and experience, especially with Casemiro leaving the club in the summer.Signing a player of his quality on a free transfer could be a masterstroke from Manchester United. It remains to be seen whether they can beat Arsenal to his signature. Goretzka has six league titles and one Champions League trophy to his name.The midfielder will demand wages of around €7 million per season, and Manchester United certainly have the financial muscle to afford him. Meanwhile, Arsenal could use more depth in the middle of the park, and the German International would be an upgrade on Christian Norgaard.Arsenal are favourites to win the Premier League title, and they will be an attractive destination for top players in the summer.On the other hand, Manchester United is still in the midst of a rebuilding period. It will be interesting to see if the Bayern Munich star is prepared to join them instead of Arsenal.Manchester United need to improve the engine room if they want to fight for major trophies next season. Apart from the 31-year-old German, they should look to invest in a midfield controller as well, who will help them dominate contests in the middle of the park.The post Man United eye perfect Casemiro replacement with move for €7m/yr Arsenal target appeared first on CaughtOffside.
