Manchester United announced the departure of yet another veteran defender yesterday as Patrice Evra joined Italian giants Juventus.
The French defender’s exit confirms an end of an era for the Red Devils as also legendary names like Giggs, Ferdinand and Vidic will no longer be playing for United.
However, as far as the new revolution is concerned, Manchester United might have just agreed one of the signings of the season by sealing a deal to sign Borussia Dortmund central defender Mats Hummels.
According to reports in the media, Manchester United have finally agreed a deal with Borussia Dortmund to sign the German international who is arguably one of the best central defenders in the world at the moment.
Hummels was a pivotal member of the squad that lifted the World Cup. Not only was he solid at the back but also scored two key goals for Germany.
As per the provided link, United are paying only £16m to hire his services and that can be considered as a massive bargain buy. Adding to that, the move can be confirmed sometime within this week.
His arrival will make Man United’s central defense very strong and it is likely that Hummels will be joined by another new center half at United.
Previously reported on the website, Louis van Gaal is also looking to complete a deal for compatriot Stefan de Vrij as well who was consistent for Netherlands in the World Cup.

Though a very welcoming and heart warming news, its too good to be true…Matts Hummels is tied to Dortmund till 2017, and 16mil is a small amount to pay for him….I really hope he comes anyways regardless of the fee….#Unitedforlife
LVG Get us Hummels + Carcalho + De Vrij + Blind + Vilda and Depay now to rule the word
Good news if its true. However, the club can go further by adding Marco Reus to the squad. He would love to play for Manchester United than any other club in England.
Why on earth would Dortmand sell hummels for 16 million ,unless Kagawa ia moving back as part of the deal !
If this report is true then, the deal should be sealed right away even if it requires to increase the fee for a quick deal. ” I mean, £16m is nothing to Man U for a world class like Hummels” please get him fast and Blind.
Blind was shaky against d argentines. Hummels +vermaleen+guadrado= solid rock.
This is very heart-warming but we seem to be paying too much attention to the central defense at the detriment of the wing backs especially the right back. We also need a world or something near that in Man U most especially in the right back area of the defense
I’m worried about all the talks of this and that player coming while the team is not getting the players. This might end up going to be the scenario to last season. Pls sign the players than just talking. BD coach kloop said Hummels is not going anywhere. Now what news are you giving us?
