Manchester clubs to battle for Borussia Dortmund duo

Both the clubs are expected to bolster their squad this summer

According to CalcioMercato, Manchester United and Manchester City are set to go head to head during this summer transfer window in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund duo Julian Weigl and Christian Pulisic. Both of them are very promising talents and are already an integral part of Bundesliga giants at such a young age.

Jose Mourinho has prioritized signing a midfielder this summer as Michael Carrick is set to retire at the end of the season and Marouane Fellaini is likely to leave in the summer. The club is interested in signing Weigl but are also keeping tabs on other midfielders.

Pep Guardiola’s main priority is also signing a deep-lying midfielder as he has realized City are too dependent on Fernandinho and wants to bring Weigl to compete with him. They were also linked with Shakhtar Donetsk star Fred.

The 22 year old ticks all the boxes that both the managers want but signing him won’t be easy as Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also interested in him and there is no gurantee that the midfielder will prefer a move to England.

Though both the clubs are filled up in their attacking positions but could move for Pulisic if he is available, as he is one of the most exciting attacking talents in the world and other clubs sooner or later will be interested in him. Still only 19 years old, the Pennsylvania native has already been described as the most technically gifted player ever produced by the United States of America.
