Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has revealed that in-demand defender Mats Hummels is considering a summer move to Manchester United.
Hummels, 26, has long been linked with a United switch and speculation is rife that they are readying a £50m double swoop for him and Dortmund teammate Ilkay Gundogan this summer.
With the Bundesliga side struggling this season, Klopp admits that he is resigned to losing the centre-back, revealing that he has already begun the search for a replacement.
"He's good enough for Manchester United. He's told me he's thinking things over," he told DW Sport. "We're always looking around the market ourselves.
"That we want to keep Mats is beyond question. How that works out I don't know. There's always a list of players who would be interesting in the event that you need them."
The Germany World Cup winner is contracted to the Signal Iduna Park club until 2017.
