Man Utd: ten Hag discusses acquisition of Wout Weghorst
Manchester United are, according to reports, eyeing Marco Reus. The Borussia Dortmund star is poised to become a free agent at the end of the campaign, when his contract is due to expire. And Erik ten Hag has reportedly held talks with the 33-year-old’s agent as he eyes a surprise move over at Old Trafford.

Hebel effectively invited offers for his player by saying: “It is quite normal that other clubs are interested in a player like Marco, whose contract expires in six months.
“Marco has always emphasised how much BVB is close to his heart, but also that he wants to continue playing football.
“So it's only natural that we have to look at other options.”
United would be able to offer Reus the chance of play in the Premier League.
And they’ve also been linked with the veteran many times over the years, too, meaning they’ve likely done their homework on the player.
Sir Alex Ferguson was an admirer of Reus before he left Old Trafford, having eyed the forward when he was strutting his stuff for Borussia Monchengladbach.
Louis van Gaal eyed Reus, along with his Dortmund team-mate Mats Hummels, during his time in the dugout.
And though links were less constant under Jose Mourinho, they still surfaced nonetheless.
United, should they land Reus without paying a fee, will be signing a second free agent in as many years.
They recruited Christian Eriksen from Brentford last summer after his short-term contract at the Gtech Community Stadium expired.
