However, he struggled to break into Pep Guardiola\u2019s starting line-up.<\/p>\n<p>So, the midfielder decided to leave the Etihad Stadium as a free agent and join VfL Wolfsburg. After being impressed by his performances at Volkswagen Arena, BVB opted to purchase him in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, he featured as a rotational option at Signal Iduna Park due to fitness issues before playing regularly last campaign. In 42 appearances across all competitions, Nmecha made eight goal contributions.<\/p>\n<p>After proving his worth in the Bundesliga, Nmecha has secured his place in the Germany national team\u2019s starting line-up. However, he failed to help his country advance beyond the World Cup last-32.<\/p>\n<p>Now, <em>The Athletic<\/em> report that despite already purchasing Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos this summer, Man Utd are considering purchasing another midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Carrick\u2019s side were keen on Aurelien Tchouameni and were ready to make a move for him had he become available.

So, the German side aren\u2019t in any rush to sell him this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Nmecha is a 6ft 3in tall right-footed technically gifted box-to-box midfielder. Moreover, he can provide cover in the defensive midfield position if needed.<\/p>\n<p>He is a talented player and is currently at the prime stage of his career. So, Nmecha might be a shrewd acquisition for Man Utd should they manage to purchase him for a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<p>However, considering the amount of fitness problems Nmecha has suffered in recent years, the Old Trafford club need to be very careful about that before making a move to secure his services this summer.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Football Talk | Premier League News\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/235188\/man-utd-interested-in-signing-dortmunds-felix-nmecha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, as per The Athletic.
