Manchester United’s summer transfer window plans may include an unexpected twist as their roster includes one of Germany’s most reliable defenders.

Leadership and Reliability from Waldemar Anton
Waldemar Anton has been a rock for Borussia Dortmund this season, making 37 appearances so far.
He is also in contention for Germany before the World Cup. He did not feature in the recent friendlies against Switzerland and Ghana, but coach Julian Nagelsmann has strongly hinted that he will be in his World Cup squad. That level of trust speaks volumes.
Inside Dortmund, Anton is valued as a vocal leader, a player who sets standards in the dressing room and brings structure to the back line. No one paid attention to those qualities.
A report yesterday said Manchester United were interested And BILD now supports that. They confirm there is interest from both Spain and England, adding real significance to what initially seemed like an unusual move by United.
Atletico’s long-standing admiration
Spanish interest comes from Atletico Madrid. He had pushed for VfB Stuttgart to sign him in the past and his praise never waned. In fact his development at Dortmund has only strengthened his position.
Now Manchester United is in the picture. This report from BILD is the second separate report on their interest, which suggests there may be something to it.
But their possible involvement makes no sense. At 29, Waldemar Anton does not fit the long-term profile they have been targeting in recent windows. They are also well-stocked at centre-back, with Harry Maguire in particular expected to sign a new deal.
However, Waldemar Anton provides immediate leadership and reliability at the back. This could be something that is in charge of the Old Trafford price.
However, for now, it seems an agent is pushing his client ahead of a busy summer rebuild at Borussia Dortmund and nothing more.
