Manchester United 'in talks to sign Borussia Dortmund defender Dan-Axel Zagadou on a free transfer' with interim head coach Ralf Rangnick a long-term admirer of the France Under-21 international

Manchester United are in talks to bring Borussia Dortmund defender Dan-Axel Zagadou to Old Trafford on a free transfer.

Zagadou has returned to the heart of Dortmund's defence this season after undergoing knee surgery and has returned to a centre back spot in Marco Rose's starting eleven.

However, the 22-year-old has just six months remaining on his deal at Signal Iduna Park and there is still no deal for the France Under-21 international to extend his stay in Germany.
