Manchester United "confident" of completing Gundogan transfer



Manchester United are "confident" of securing the transfer of Ilkay Gundogan, according to the Daily Mail.

United will have to wait until summer to acquire the Borussia Dortmund midfielder, but the club are apparently convinced that a deal can be done, despite reported interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The paper repeats the strange claim that the midfielder has a release clause of £24million, which, if true, means it would be pretty easy to wrap it up now if we wanted.

Yet even if that clause doesn't exist, it has seemed as though Gundogan could be acquired with a pretty sizeable bid now. If Dortmund are prepared to let him go for a fee in the summer, then presumably they'd have their price for this window too. It would be a gamble, since he hasn't played for most of the season, but it would also mean we have far less chance of being usurped by Barcelona or Real Madrid. It would be nice to see us wrap this up now, rather than face another potential embarrassment... still, I'm sure Ed Woodward knows what he's doing.

Gundogan’s father invites Manchester United to sign him after admitting ‘everything is open’ with his future



Ilkay Gundogan‘s father and agent has insisted the possibility of him leaving Borussia Dortmund is still firmly open this summer.

The future of Gundogan has remained unresolved all season because negotiations have been put on hold following a long-standing back injury and his contract is set to expire in 2015.

Seen by many as a perfect midfielder for United, Gundogan‘s future at Dortmund looks far from secure after his father admitted that every possibility was still open to the midfielder at this stage, giving legs to any potential move to United.

“Everything is open. Dortmund are our first point of contact,” Irfa Gundogan told Kicker.de

Gundogan hasn’t featured for Dortmund since 14 August 2013 due to a persistent back problem but he has still been touted as an ideal midfielder for David Moyes to sign in the summer.

Prior to his extended absence through injury, the 23-year-old had been one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga with his box-to-box displays earning plenty of plaudits around Europe.

As well as interest from United, Real Madrid have been heavily linked with a move for him so there would no doubt be competition for his signature were he to leave Dortmund.

The major concern with Gundogan would be whether his back problems would mean he is too much of a risk to sign given the long term impact it could have on his career.

Kalo dilhat dari cuplikan pertandingan-pertandingan gundogan, doi cuma jago saat menyerang, tapi bertahan ??? United butuh gelandang petarung, jago menyerang dan bertahan harus seimbang. Tipe gundogan yaa kayak Juan Mata gitu, carilah pemain yang beda tipe sedikit biar tipe" pemain yg starting bisa beda" sesuai strategiyg diterpkan saat bermain dan niscaya permainan United bisa lebih kreatif lagi.

Manchester United Transfer Rumours: Red Devils Must Land Ilkay Gundogan



Manchester United's season is as good as over. They are seventh in the Premier League, out of the FA Cup, and a miracle short of winning the Champions League. The Red Devils' squad needs some serious surgery this summer if they are to challenge next year. One man could fix a lot of problems—Borussia Dortmund's Ilkay Gundogan.

United are on alert after their long-term target was reported to be "completely open" to leaving Dortmund. As The Daily Mail reported, Gundogan's father and agent said of his son's future, "everything is open" once he returns to full fitness after six months out with injury.

Mirror Football reports that Dortmund could even be interested in re-signing Shinji Kagawa from United as a part-exchange deal. The Japanese playmaker moved to Old Trafford from the Westfalenstadion in 2012.

With forward Juan Mata joining for a club-record fee of £37.1 million in January, United clearly have the funds available to go after players of Gundogan's calibre. But what can the German bring to David Moyes' squad?

Midfield Energy

Although currently injured, Gundogan is famed for his bursts forward from midfield. While Michael Carrick is an expert passer of the ball, he often struggles to grab a game by its scruff and power United to victory. Introducing the dynamic Gundogan alongside him would allow Carrick to sit deeper, breaking up attacks and distributing possession. Gundogan would be the team's engine, collecting the ball from Carrick to enter the opposition's half and bring United's forwards into play.

Up-front, United have great options. Combine Mata with Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Adnan Januzaj, and David Moyes has a front line that will frighten most teams. What he does not have is a player with the ability to give them the ball. Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp uses Gundogan in a midfield two behind four forwards, and it is a system that would suit United. Those four front men supported by an energetic midfielder would bring back memories of United under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Essentially, Gundogan could be the player for United that Anderson promised to be.

Big-Game Experience

United hardly look like a side that won the title last season and it will get worse this summer. David Moyes stands to lose some of his most experienced players, with Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs all likely to leave or retire. Gundogan has won the highly competitive Bundesliga with Dortmund and been to the Champions League final as recently as 2013. With Dortmund the best-supported club in Europe, Gundogan is used to playing in front of over 80,000 fans each week.

Other United transfer targets such as William Carvalho lack the same levels of Champions League experience. There will be no question marks over Gundogan's ability to hit the ground running at United. Experience such as that will be invaluable as Moyes attempts to rebuild the club.

Statement of Intent

It is one thing for a club to spend big money on one transfer, but it sends an entirely different message to its rivals if the club backs that up with another signing. Gundogan is a proven world-class player. It will take a hefty fee to prise him from Dortmund, but United can use that to their advantage. By singing Mata and Gundogan in two transfer windows, they can show Manchester City and Chelsea they mean business for 2014/15.

Before Mata arrived, United had not paid high transfer fees for years. The reliance on unearthing cheap talent or nurturing youngsters through the system is laudable, but not in keeping with the modern game. A former United captain agrees. As ITV.com reported, Roy Keane said:

United have kind of cut corners in terms of transfers in the last few years, they’ve not gone out and got the big players, and it’s just caught up with them this year.

Manchester United need an overhaul of their squad, that much is clear. Their defence is a mess and the retirement of Vidic will not help matters. But after signing Mata, they have the attacking talent they need to score goals. Now they must act to find a player capable of supplying those front men. Gundogan is that man.

Manchester United target Ilkay Gundogan commits future to Dortmund

Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has committed his future to Borussia Dortmund by signing a new contract.

The highly-rated Germany international, a reported target for a host of clubs across Europe, including Manchester United, has penned a new deal to keep him at the Bundesliga club until 2016.

The 23-year-old has barely featured this season because of a back problem, but was still set to have plenty of suitors over the summer.


Another one bits the dust: Man United target Ilkay Gundogan has committed his future to Dortmund


Key man: The 23-year-old midfielder has signed a deal that keeps him at the German club until 2016

Gundogan told the club's official website: 'I am very grateful that my club gives me the opportunity to continue to be part of this special team and this very special environment.

'I will do everything to be able to help my team-mates again soon and am very optimistic heading into the coming weeks and months.'

The news is a huge boost for Dortmund and coach Jurgen Klopp, who will lose star striker Robert Lewandowski to Bayern Munich in the summer.

Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said: 'Against the backdrop of this special injury-related situation we are very happy with this deal and hope that Ilkay will fulfill his full potential for Dortmund in the coming season.'
