HERE WE GO: Manchester United completes another major transfer signing as South American striker joins the Reds on six-years deal- Completed his medical yesterday and will be announced soon

Manchester United are interested in a deal to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, according to journalist Christian Falk.

Ruben Amorim is keen to add new midfielder to his squad this summer after Christian Eriksen was released at the end of his contract, while Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is reportedly close to a move to Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr.

The Red Devils are said to be exploring their options across the market, and now Dortmund star Nmecha has emerged as a target for the club during the transfer window.
Man Utd Want to Sign Nmecha
Dortmund don’t want to sell under any circumstances

Accordign to reliable German journalist Falk, Man Utd have an interest in Nmecha, who has been compared to Man City star Rodri, as they look to strengthen their midfield options heading into the new season following a disappointing campaign last time out.

Nmecha, who currently earns around £100,000-a-week with Dortmund, would reported cost around £25m, but the Bundesliga outfit are adamant they do not want to sell him under any circumstances as they look to bounce back from their own poor season.

The Germany international is a regular at Signal Iduna Park, and knows England well having come up through the Man City academy, and knows the language, which could help him to settle in at Old Trafford better.
However, with Dortmund not keen to sell it seems like Man Utd would have to make a big offer in order to convince them. It’s also unclear if the player himself would be interested in a move to the Premier League currently.

There are currently some concerns over the future of midfield star Kobbie Mainoo under Ruben Amorim after a lack of playing time and questions over how he fits into the system. However, GIVEMESPORT sources report that the manager has held positive talks with the academy star this summer and there is confidence that he can find his best form once more despite interest from clubs in a £70m deal.
Manchester United’s interest in **Felix Nmecha** signals a strategic shift under Ruben Amorim as the club attempts to **reshape the midfield** ahead of the new season.

| 🇺🇾 Manuel Ugarte (PSG) | Backup plan if Neves deal fails |
| 🇩🇪 Felix Nmecha (BVB) | Interest confirmed – but **Dortmund resist** |

### 🚦 Transfer Challenges

* **Dortmund’s Position:** They reportedly **“do not want to sell under any circumstances”**, likely due to squad rebuilding under a new era post-Marco Reus and Julian Brandt uncertainty.
* **Nmecha’s Role at BVB:** Seen as a long-term starter and **key physical presence** in midfield.
* **Price Point:** While £25m is reasonable, United may need to bid **significantly more** to alter Dortmund’s stance.
* **Player Stance:** Unknown at this stage — but his **English background (Man City academy)** could make transition easier if United pursue hard.

### ⚙️ Tactical Fit under Amorim

Amorim’s **3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 system** demands:

* **Energetic, box-to-box midfielders** who can press and progress play.
* Nmecha is a **profile match** — comparable in some aspects to Rodri-lite, but with more verticality and drive.
* Could **pair well with Mainoo**, if the youngster stays and adapts to Amorim’s tactical structure.

### 🧠 Mainoo Update

Despite earlier **concerns over game time**, *GIVEMESPORT* reports that Mainoo and Amorim have held **positive talks** and both are **confident** of carving out a central role for the 19-year-old.
However, the emergence of interest from **Premier League and European giants (willing to pay £70m)** remains a threat.

### 📝 Verdict

United’s midfield overhaul is clearly underway, and **Nmecha represents a smart-value target** — young, Premier League-ready, and stylistically compatible.
However, **Dortmund’s resistance could make this a difficult deal** unless:

1. United **increase their offer significantly**.
2. Nmecha **pushes for the move**, especially if Amorim sells him on the vision.

Would you like a comparison between Nmecha and Joao Neves or Ugarte to see who suits Amorim’s style best?
