# Manchester United: Red Devils backed to sign Thomas Meunier

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) have been backed to make a move for Belgium international Thomas Meunier, with journalist Pete O’Rourke saying he would be a good fit.**

### The Lowdown: Meunier linked with United move

Erik ten Hag has gradually turned things around at Old Trafford after a worrying start to the season, with the addition of new signings such as Casemiro and Christian Eriksen making a big difference.

The United manager is likely to want more arrivals in the coming transfer windows, however, and Meunier is one who has been [linked](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-transfers-dumfries-meunier-rashford-28670056) with a switch to the club.

The 31-year-old has forged an impressive career for himself, currently playing for Borussia Dortmund and also winning a total of [62 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/thomas-meunier/profil/spieler/100986) for Belgium.

### The Latest: Journalist talks up transfer

Speaking to [*Give Me Sport*](https://www.givemesport.com/88092598-manchester-united-transfer-news-old-trafford-world-cup), O’Rourke talked up the idea of Meunier becoming a United player:

> “I think Thomas Meunier would be a good signing for Manchester United. He’s an experienced player, has played at the highest level and I think he would definitely improve that United squad if he was to arrive.”

### The Verdict: good squad option

Meunier may not be the most exciting player in the world, with the Belgian known more for being a solid performer than a spectacular full-back, but he could be a shrewd signing for United.

He possesses huge experience at both club and international level and has been [hailed](https://bvbbuzz.com/2020/10/07/michael-zorc-praises-thomas-meunier-borussia-dortmund/) for the ‘charisma’ he possesses by Michael Zorc, and he could be a strong squad player at United.

Diogo Dalot has made the right-back spot his own for United but Meunier would provide depth in that area, proving to be a notable upgrade on Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
