Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
After a difficult start to this season, Ruben Amorim was under immense pressure, with the Red Devils experiencing their worst Premier League finish under his leadership last season.
However, after winning three consecutive league matches against Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton and Hove Albion, the atmosphere around the club has changed enormously.
The 20-time English champions are currently sixth in the Premier League with 16 points from nine games and just two points behind second-placed AFC Bournemouth.
Amorim has already said a few times that qualifying for European football is the goal again this season. So they are on the right track to achieving that goal through the competition.
Amid this situation, Man Utd plans to further strengthen the squad next year to help Amorim rebuild.
On GiveMeSport, Romano states that the Red Devils are prioritizing strengthening the midfield department, with Amorim and the recruitment team aligned to make this happen.
Stiller to Man Utd
The Old Trafford club have expressed an interest in signing Stiller, with sporting director Jason Wilcox leading the scouting mission for the German in recent years.
The 24-year-old has three years left on his current contract and has a buyout clause, but Stuttgart can buy his buyout clause for a few million. They are expected to do that, and if that ultimately happens, they will want a fee of up to £53 million to let him leave.
Man Utd are willing to sign him in January if the opportunity arises, but it is highly unlikely they would be able to do so. So they would have to wait until next summer to strengthen the engine room.
Stiller is not the only name on Man Utd’s wishlist. Carlos Baleba remains on their radar despite his below-average performances in the early stages of this season.
Stiller is a technically gifted left-footed, deep-lying playmaker and could be a smart signing for Man Utd if they were to sign him. However, it will be interesting to see if Amorim’s side ultimately choose to secure his service to strengthen the midfield.
