MANCHESTER UNITED are considering making a move for Borussia Dortmund right-back Thomas Meunier, according to reports.
The Red Devils have got off to a disastrous start in the Premier League making Erik ten Hag even more desperate to bolster his defensive options.
The Belgian is reportedly seen as ideal competition for Diogo Dalot in the right-back position, claim Manchester Evening News.
Ten Hag wants to get rid of Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer and will accept a huge loss or loan to do so making full-back options light.
Meunier, 30, has previously spoken of his fondness for United saying back in 2018 that they are a “unique club” and that he has “always been a fan” of the team.
The Telegraph claim that it could take a bid in the region of £12.5million to bring him to Old Trafford.
