Borussia Dortmund have demonstrated an impressive ability of bringing up top quality players in recent seasons. Mario Gotze is one of them, but it seems that Manchester United are more interested in signing Borussia Dortmund’s Neven Subotic. The Serbian defender will be an apt replacement for Nemanja Vidic or Rio Ferdinand.
While Rio Ferdinand is definitely coming to the end of his career, Nemanja Vidic has a few more years left in him. However, Manchester United are extremely worried about the prospect of Nemanja Vidic’s career coming to a premature end after this horrible injury this season. He is not expected to be back into the first-team action for at least a year, and Manchester United fear that his injury may develop into a complex situation is very much like the one that affected Owen Hargreaves.
The 23-year-old Neven Subotic has hinted on numerous occasions that he will be willing to negotiate a possible transfer to a big club from Europe. Clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United have already expressed their interest in the player. It is quite possible that Borussia Dortmund will not be holding him back provided they receive a transfer fee of £ 20 million.
Despite the incredible transfer rumours surrounding their players, Borussia Dortmund have been doing extremely well in the German Bundesliga this season. There are currently top of the table right now with a massive seven-point advantage over the second placed team – Bayern Munich.
