Ralf Rangnick is keen for Manchester United to sign three Bundesliga talents
According to The Sun, Ralf Rangnick is eyeing three Bundesliga wonderkids as potential transfer targets for Manchester United in the coming transfer windows. He plans to include these rising youngsters into the new project that the club is building as they plot a return to the glory days.
Luca Netz, Eric Martel and Armel Bella-Kotchap are the three prodigies that Rangnick is keeping tabs on for a future move. They are plying their trades in Germany and have shown signs of quality that indicate that they are superstars in the making. Familiar with the German league, Rangnick has an excellent eye for talent.
Florian Wirtz and Amadou Haidara are other Bundesliga talents who are shortlisted as transfer targets. Ligue 1 ace Boubacar Kamara is also being scouted as someone who could provide success in the long term. The 63-year-old boss has compiled the list regardless of his future in the managerial role at Old Trafford.
Fresh blood
Primarily a left-back, Netz is versatile enough to play as a centre-back or a left midfielder if necessary. Since moving to Borussia Monchengladbach from Hertha Berlin this summer, he has become a regular for Die Fohlen. He has three clean sheets and two assists to his name, having played 13 matches across all competition this season.
Bella-Kotchap plays as a central defender and has been crucial for VFL Bochum in their attempt to gain promotion to the Bundesliga this season. He has played ten matches this campaign and has contributed to his team’s mid-table position in the league table.
Martel is currently on loan at Austria Vienna from RB Leipzig and has been sensational for them. He is good enough to play as a centre-back as well as a defensive midfielder and is equally good in both positions. If he continues to develop as expected, he could be the latest star to emerge from the Red Bull setup.
