# Manchester United target OPEN to Premier League transfer

It comes after the midfielder just recovered from a horrific injury, which limited him to only three appearances last season and it is believed the 24-year-old is seeking a fresh challenge.

And now that he is has returned to full fitness in a struggling Dortmund side, he has attracted attention from major clubs from around Europe.

Real Madrid have already had a bid rejected, leaving big spenders Manchester United feeling as though they have got a realistic chance of landing him.

“Real Madrid made an offer for me but my club refused it,” the Germany international said.

“At the time I had two more seasons on my contract. But also, my injury wrecked everything. I couldn’t play for 14 months.

“Now I want to look forward and make up for lost time with sporting success.

“Playing outside Germany is one of my big goals. If one day I leave here, I’d like to play in Spain or for one of the big teams in England.”
