Scouting For Louis Van Gaal (or Jose Mourinho): 3 Bundesliga Stars Manchester United Should Target This Summer

  1. Sven Bender

Bender developing into a midfield anchor played a big role in Borussia Dortmund’s progress from Bundesliga hopefuls to champions under Jurgen Klopp, but Sven Bender is no longer a certain starter at the Westfalenstadion. Bender is tough in the tackle and hard-working in his defensive duties, he has long offered a strong base in front of the back four. However, he’s no longer first-choice in his preferred role.

The 26-year-old is into his seventh year with Dortmund, but it could be his last. Under new Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel, he has seen the returning Ilkay Gundogan and young starlet Julian Weigl take over him as the preferred podium at the base of midfield.

The German player can be a good addition to Manchester United, giving the injury prone squad more options to choose from.
