Manchester United continue to be linked to players all over Europe.

Memphis Depay and his agent are reported to have flown into Manchester to meet with Louis van Gaal and United chiefs and another European star has also been mooted with a move to Old Trafford.

German newspaper Der Westen has reported that Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan will make a move from the Westfalionstadion to Manchester in the summer.

With the 24-year-old out of contract in July 2016, Dortmund are keen to avoid a repeat of the situation that saw star striker Robert Lewandowski leave for nothing.

The Polish striker moved to rivals Bayern Munich on a free transfer after his contract at the Westfalenstadion run out, leaving Dortmund struggling this season.
