One of the areas of their team Manchester United Could try to upgrade in summer, it’s their midfielder. Ruben Amoim has cut and changed his pivot since his control as a manager, Bruno Fernandes being the only coherent option in the middle of the park.
Besides Fernandes, the New United Boss has deployed Manuel Ugarte, who has its limits on the ball, or Casemiro, which has become a larger part of the team in recent weeks. That said, It was reported in February That the Brazilian could see the rest of his contract at Old Trafford.
Among the other options in the center of the park, let us quote Kobbie Mainoo, which is currently injured and Toby Collyer. Therefore, it is not surprising that United be linked to a new midfielder for the summer.
Thus, United could be ready to bring a new player to strengthen in the midfield during the summer, to complete the Amorim options in the middle of the park.
A name that has been linked to a passage to Old Trafford is Felix Nmecha du Borussia Dortmund.
According to Patrick Berger of Sky GermanyThe Red Devils would be “interested” to sign German this summer. He reports that the club “ did it on their limited list ” before the transfer window.
As Berger notes in history, “there has not yet been contact” between United and Dortmund.
However, the midfielder should cost around 42 million pounds sterling if he wants to leave Signal Iduna Park, which could become likely if BVB fails to qualify for Europe.
Despite Dortmund’s difficulties this season, it was an impressive season for Nmecha. Often playing as the deepest midfielder of the Bundesliga giants, he has star In all competitions, marking three times and entering two assists.
Goals are not necessarily a key characteristic of midfielder play; He only marked eight in his professional career.
However, when it scores, they often have a surveillance. Take his goal against Freiburg as an example. Nmecha picked up the ball from the outside of the penalty box and curled up home in the lower left corner.
Interestingly, Nmecha has already had an experience of English football. He spent several years playing for the Manchester City academy, even with three times In the first team under Pep Guardiola, before returning to Germany, originally joining Wolfsburg before signing for Dortmund.

This could also make negotiations for the smoother player from the point of view of United. As Berger explained in his report, the technical director of Red Devils, Jason Wilcox, “ knows him well ”, since he was formerly the head of the city academy.
If United concludes an agreement to sign Nmecha, they could see that they have signed their own version of Jude BellinghamNot so much in the way they play, but rather in the fact, the two have refined their job in Dortmund.
English international played for the German side 132 timesStanding and helping 24 times each, and has since continued to achieve great things in Real Madrid. Bellingham has played 81 times for Los Blancos, with 34 goals and 24 assists in his name, and several titles.
Well, like the former Birmingham City star, Nmecha may not be the player we see today, without his time in Dortmund. In total, he played 56 times, with nine goals and assists in his deeper role, and three dishes in Germany in his name.
However, there are similarities between the pair, despite the fact that they are different midfielder styles. The most notable is that the two players are powerful bearers of box-tobox balls. According to FbrefNmecha is on average one to take by 90 minutes this season, and Bellingham 1.72 per game. They also carry out a similar quantity of defensive work, in particular with regard to the fight.

There may be something in the signing of Dortmund field circles because the impact of Bellingham in Madrid was superb. The Red Devils surely hope that the same thing can be said about Nmecha if they were to sign the 24 -year -old in summer.
As Antonio Mango saidIt is a “great talent”, which could transfer the United midfielder before a large 2025/26 campaign.
