Julian Nagelsmann is 'confident' that midfielder Leon Goretzka will sign a new contract

New Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann is 'confident' that the influential Leon Goretzka will sign a new contract despite interest from Manchester United.

The Red Devils are looking to bring in a top-level midfielder with the future of Paul Pogba uncertain and Saul Niguez, Eduardo Camavinga and Goretzka have all been considered by the club, but the German is said to want a new deal at the Bundesliga champions to keep him at the Allianz Arena beyond 2022 rather than move to Old Trafford.

Nagelsmann, who recently moved into the hotseat after a spell at RB Leipzig, is also optimistic about keeping the midfielder for the coming years.
