The 21-year-old performed admirably for Germany during World Cup 2010 in South Africa, helping his country to a third placed finish in the tournament.

With only one year left on his current contract with the Bundesliga club, the young midfielder has been heavily linked with moves to other top European clubs this summer - with Real Madrid and Arsenal reported to be interested.

The former Schalke man was in negotiations over a new contract with the German club, but it appears that the talks have stalled - as general manager Klaus Allofs admitted that the two parties had been unable to find a solution.

Now The Sun reports that the Red Devils are keeping tabs on the talented midfielder, since manager Sir Alex Ferguson missed out on bringing him to Old Trafford as a teenager.
