Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is a big admirer of Borussia Dortmund's Marc Barta, according to reports in the Spanish media
Jose Mourinho believes Marc Barta would be the perfect fit for his Manchester United squad, according to reports in Spain.
Spanish newspaper AS is reporting that Manchester United are interested in signing the Borussia Dortmund defender in the summer transfer window.
The same article states that the Red Devils are ready to swoop for the former Barcelona star as Mourinho looks to improve his squad ahead of a return to the Champions League.
Barta scored one goal in 31 appearances in the 2016-17 Bundesliga campaign as Borussia Dortmund finished in third place in the table.
The 26-year-old won five La Liga titles, three Copa del Rey cups and two Champions League crowns during a seven-season stay at his boyhood club Barcelona.
Barta completed a €8m move to Dortmund from Barcelona last summer and signed a four-year contract with the Bundesliga giants.
Manchester United have already signed Sweden international Victor Lindelof in a £30.7m deal from Portuguese champions Benfica last summer.
The Red Devils haven’t added any more additions to their squad despite being linked with a host of different players this summer.
