There has been numerous midfielders linked with Manchester United in past few months.

The 31-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in Germany.
His record for Germany is also impressive. Sami Khedira has scored seven goals in 73 matches for Germany at senior level. His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Manchester United.
Jose Mourinho is looking to shore up his midfield options and Juventus’s Sami Khedira happens to be a target.
The Manchester United manager has been impressed by his performances this season and could make a move in the coming transfer window.
Manchester United will be desperate to make an impact in the summer transfer window.
According to Calciomercato (via Tuttosport and BILD), “Reports from Tuttosport say that Jose Mourinho could explore the possibility of signing Khedira, whose contract at Turin runs out in the summer of 2019. The report comes a day after Khedira had talked to BILD about his future. He said: “I would like to win as many titles as possible in as many championships as possible. Among the best tournaments in Europe I miss England, having won in Spain, Germany and Italy. The Premier has always fascinated me. Winning the title there would complete my collection.” The Italian daily says that United could use Mourinho’s ties with the player to come close to signing him as both of them had shared a dressing room during their time at Real Madrid.”
