Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Borussia Dortmund defender, Julian Ryerson as a surprise replacement for Noussair Mazraoui.
United are expected to be busy during the summer transfer window ahead of their return to the Champions League.
Since taking over from Ruben Amorim, current interim manager Michael Carrick has done an outstanding job of getting the most out of his team to turn around their season.
The Red Devils have appeared much closer to their Big Six competitors under Carrick, but they have benefited from having an easier schedule than other teams this year.

The upcoming season will provide a more accurate picture of their place as they balance multiple competitions.
United Ready For Summer Spending Spree
As a result, United need excellent cover in a number of areas, and they might prioritize their midfield revamp while pursuing additions in other departments.
Adding a new right-back to the team is one option, and according to German journalist Patrick Berger, the Red Devils are considering a move for Ryerson.
Ryerson, who has 14 assists in the Bundesliga this season, may be a smart addition for United, but a deal would require INEOS agreeing to spend 30 million euros (£26 million) to sign him, Mazraoui leaving, and the club losing out on favoured targets on their “shortlist.”
Berger said on X: “Manchester United are monitoring Julian Ryerson (28/🇳🇴) in case Noussair Mazraoui leaves the club. Ryerson (15 assists during the Bundesliga campaign) is on #MUFC’s RB backup shortlist.
“Borussia Dortmund rate him highly but not unsellable. Price tag more than €30m.”
