Champions League winner ‘has no intention’ of joining Man United | OneFootball

Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka is not planning on swapping clubs in January despite struggling for game time, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg.

The 29-year-old has found playing time hard to come by and has popped up on Manchester United’s shortlist for midfield reinforcements, but he is reportedly not keen on a winter move.

Goretzka’s position in midfield has been usurped by the promising Aleksandar Pavlovic. The former Schalke 04 star has yet to start a Bundesliga game under new boss Vincent Kompany.

This has led to speculation regarding Goretzka’s future, with United emerging as a possible destination.

United reportedly have him on their shortlist, but it appears any move may have to wait until the summer as he wants to see out the season with Die Rekordmeister.

United should not be after Goretzka

While Goretzka is a terrific midfielder on his day, he is the sort of player United must avoid.

He has struggled with injuries all his career, and those niggling problems tend to take away his consistency.

Goretzka is not the profile United’s midfield needs right now. He excels at everything but does not give United the control they desperately need in midfield.

United are crying out for a midfielder who can set the pace and dictate the tempo while being defensively sturdy, and the Bayern Munich man does not fit the bill.

Goretzka doesn’t particularly complement Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo and does not fit in when both men are on the pitch.

It would be wiser for Manchester United to take their business elsewhere.
