Manchester United have been hampered by injuries to Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martínez at the center back position, and they are interested in beefing up their quality at the position, preparing to show an interest in Newcastle United star Malick Thiaw, per Sport Bild reporter Christian Falk.

Manchester United fans hoping to steal away Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart this summer transfer window may need to look elsewhere for an underrated gem transfer target from outside the Premier League. In an appearance on The United Stand, Ben Jacobs told Mark Goldbridge that Manchester United going after Stiller is unlikely at this stage, and he noted that the Red Devils are waiting to see if Stuttgart pay the meager two million euros to get the former Bayern Munich prospect's release clause nullified: "I don't get the impression at this stage that Manchester United are advancing on Angelo Stiller." "They're waiting to see whether Stuttgart remove the release clause and Stuttgart have the ability to pay €2 millon and get rid of the release clause." Stiller has a 40 million euro rel...
