Manchester United have a ‘deal in place’ to sign Ilkay Gündoğan from Borussia Dortmund according to the Sunday Times.

The report states that sources within Manchester United have confirmed that the Premier League giants are close to signing the Germany international.

The article also claims that United are in advanced negotiations to sign Nathaniel Clyne from Southampton.

The Red Devil’s manage Louis van Gaal confirmed earlier this week that he will sign a new midfielder in the summer transfer window.

“When you see the stats, it’s clear that he’s very important but that’s also because we have only right-sided holding midfielder,” van Gaal was quoted as saying by the Mirror.

“That’s what I am saying already in the whole of the season, that our selection is not balanced, and I want to restore that in the next transfer period.”
