Borussia Dortmund right-back Thomas Meunier is open to a move to Manchester United.

After being part of the Belgium side that crashed out of the World Cup group stages in Qatar, Meunier could switch his attention to sorting a future transfer.

According to Mundo Deportivo, as cited by the Manchester Evening News, Meunier is open to joining Manchester United.

The former Paris Saint-Germain full-back is also attracting interest from Barcelona, AC Milan, Juventus and two clubs based in London.

Meunier, 31, has made 14 appearances for Dortmund this season. He has managed just one assist and his contract runs until 2024.

Manchester United need to add competition at right-back for Diogo Dalot and it might not be a bad idea to sign an experienced player for that role. It remains to be seen if Dalot can continue the form he showed during the first half of the season, but if he does, I think we’re looking at our starting right-back for next season too.

The Belgian international would be a better back-up option than Aaron Wan-Bissaka!

Manchester United showed interest in Meunier back in August

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano claims Manchester United and Barcelona both showed interest in Meunier last summer.

In his column for Caught Offside, Romano wrote: “Both Barcelona and Manchester United were interested in Thomas Meunier last August but there was no chance to agree on deal with Borussia Dortmund.

“The problem was not on player’s side but on club’s side, as BVB wanted to keep him.”
