REVEALED: Erik ten Hag held a secret meeting with Marcos Reus’s agent after he was spotted at the Manchester derby, as United consider a move for Borussia Dortmund’s 33-year-old soon-to-be free agent
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag held a secret meeting with Marco Reus‘s agent after the Manchester derby last weekend, it has been revealed.
Reus’s representatives were spotted at Saturday’s game with the Borussia Dortmund star weighing up his future.
The forward is out of contract in the summer and has confirmed he is considering his options ahead of a possible free transfer departure in the summer.

Ten Hag held a meeting with Dirk Hebel and Darren Freeman following the game, though it is unclear if the talks were positive.
While the 33-year-old wouldn’t cost United a penny in terms of a transfer fee, it is thought his current wage is over £200,000 per week.

Marcus Rashford has been a revolution out wide for the Dutchman’s side, but big-money summer signing Antony has struggled to settle on the right, with Jadon Sancho dealing with personal issues and youngsters such as Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Elanga needing time to settle.
Reus would fit the mould of a player ready to perform in the present as the Red Devils aim to compete on all fronts, and can operate in a number of forward positions as an additional benefit.
