Manchester United have kept an eye on Austrian international Julian Baumgartlinger in recent weeks, with it looking likely that the 28-year-old will leave Bayer Leverkusen this season.

The midfielder only signed with the German outfit in the summer, but has struggled to nail down a regular first team spot, starting just five Bundesliga games so far.

Nonetheless, he’s a player with excellent ability in the midfield and, with Mourinho somewhat struggling to work out his best central-midfield partnership, bringing in a player like Baumgartlinger would certainly strengthen those options.

It would hardly be the most inspiring of signings, but United need someone in the middle of the park alongside either Michael Carrick and Ander Herrera, and Baumgartlinger could be that man.
