Manchester United are interested in Felix Nmecha and the Borussia Dortmund midfielder is opening the door to a move.
The midfield rebuild at Manchester United is proving difficult with Ineos forced to shuffle through their list of targets.
Elliot Anderson is joining Manchester City, Tottenham are chasing Mateus Fernandes and alternative targets like Alex Scott will not come cheap.
United need to look elsewhere, and Christopher Vivell is driving interest in Felix Nmecha. The 25-year-old Bundesliga star has just made a key decision which could lead to an Old Trafford move.
How would YOU spend Man United’s rumoured £250m transfer budget?💰
Would you go big on the midfield, or should United spread out the budget?
Felix Nmecha makes Man Utd his top priority
Felix Nmecha is a target for several Premier League clubs this summer, including United and Newcastle United.
According to Bild, via Sport Witness, Nmecha finds a move to United the most “attractive” option.
Nmecha has a price tag of £50m this summer according to reports, but it seems United have the advantage of being the player’s preferred destination.

Felix Nmecha is copying Benjamin Sesko blueprint
Last summer, Benjamin Sesko found himself in a very similar position to Nmecha at RB Leipzig.
Sesko was attracting interest from Premier League clubs, with United entering a transfer battle with Newcastle.
Ultimately, Sesko only wanted to join United, and he made it clear that he preferred Old Trafford to St James’ Park.

As a result, Ineos struck a £66m deal for Sesko, agreeing a transfer package with Leipzig that was actually smaller than the bid made by Newcastle.
Nmecha has now made the same decision, and it could help United’s transfer chiefs get a deal over the line.
