Manchester United have reportedly decided to make an approach for in-demand Schalke 04 midfielder Leon Goretzka.
In recent weeks, Goretzka has been heavily linked with a move to either the Premier League, La Liga or Serie A, with Liverpool, Arsenal Barcelona and Juventus all said to hold an interest.
Goretzka's contract at the Bundesliga outfit expires at the end of the season, effectively leaving the German international with his pick of clubs in the summer, and it appears that the 22-year-old may have another exciting option made available to him.
According to Sky Sports News, United boss Jose Mourinho is said to be monitoring the situation ahead of potentially lodging a bid for the player.
Since signing for Schalke in 2013, Goretzka has scored a total of 18 goals in 126 appearances in all competitions, while the Royal Blues currently sit in third place in the league standings.
Schalke have already indicated that they have offered Goretzka a new deal to remain at the Veltins-Arena.
