Manchester United considers Waldemar Anton for defensive reinforcements

Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Waldemar Anton from Borussia Dortmund as part of their efforts to strengthen their defense. With midfield revamps prioritized, the club is still focusing on bolstering their backline, especially following injury concerns among their current defenders. Anton, a 29-year-old Germany international, has impressed during the past season and is valued around £35 million. Head coach Michael Carrick is a supporter of Anton, envisioning him as a key addition to the squad. Negotiations may face challenges, especially if Anton's representatives are using the interest to negotiate a better contract at Dortmund, where his deal runs until 2028.
