Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Germany Under-21 international midfielder Arne Maier, according to Sport Bild.
The Premier League side, who defeated Young Boys 3-0 in their UEFA Champions League opener in midweek, have been linked with a move for the Hertha Berlin starlet ahead of the January transfer window.
The 19-year-old, who has featured twice for Germany’s Under-21 squad, has made four appearances in all competitions for the Bundesliga outfit so far this season.
