Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich.
According to The Sun, once Sir Jim Ratcliffe took over Man United in part, coach Erik ten Hag wanted to revolutionize his midfield.
The Red Devils are ranked eighth in the Premier League, eight points behind the top four teams. However, club executives are preparing moves that might see Manchester United re-enter the title race.
The Red Devils have maintained an eye on Bayern Munich star Kimmich, according to transfer expert Ekrem Konur. The 28-year-old is unlikely to leave in January, but he and the Grey Tigers could part ways at the end of the season.

When the season finishes, Kimmich will have one year remaining on his contract with Bayern. However, Man United will have heavy competition to sign this talented player.
The German international is also being pursued by Premier League clubs Manchester City and Liverpool. Pep Guardiola, the coach of Manchester City, managed Bayern in Kimmich’s debut season at the Bavarian club.
Man City may compete with MU for the signing of Kimmich.
With three first-team players potentially leaving before next season, Manchester United’s midfield might soon look drastically different.
Donny van de Beek, a forgotten great, is poised to join Eintracht Frankfurt on loan next month. In the summer, the Bundesliga club may recruit the Dutchman permanently for £13 million.
Meanwhile, ahead of the January transfer window, Casemiro is garnering interest from Saudi Arabia. Man United’s executives are thought to be eager to profit from this 31-year-old player.
In the case of Sofyan Amrabat, the Moroccan midfielder joined the Red Devils on a season-long loan from Fiorentina on the final day of the summer transfer window. However, this 27-year-old midfielder may not be skilled enough to secure a contract at Old Trafford.
