As Erik ten Hag tries to restock his team, the Red Devils are anticipated to be active during the summer transfer window and have already been linked with scores of players.
Harry Kane of Tottenham, Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta, and Declan Rice of West Ham have all been mentioned as potential candidates for high-profile transfers to Old Trafford.
The next name that has been connected to a potential transfer to the club this summer, though, may surprise United fans.
'Loose conversations' have reportedly taken place between the Red Devils and Leeds defender Robin Koch, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport Germany.
According to the report, United is reportedly considering signing the German star as they get ready to enter the summer transfer market.
Last season, the 26-year-old was a key member of the Leeds squad and made 36 appearances as the Yorkshire club was ultimately relegated on the final day.
Koch's contract, which expires after the upcoming season, is said to be a possible factor in Leeds' decision to trade for the German international this summer.
Ten Hag is eager to expand his defensive options in the forthcoming transfer window, and United is reportedly interested in signing Napoli center-back Kim Min-jae.
As a result of Tottenham's interest in Harry Maguire, there has also been speculation that he may depart the club during the summer transfer window.
When it was discovered that Atalanta would expect a sum "well in advance" of their club record transfer fee for striker Rasmus Hojlund, United's other transfer negotiations took a severe hit.
While Chelsea waits in the wings, United is more likely to intensify their interest by making an offer for the highly regarded Danish international.
While the 20-year-old still has four years left on his contract, Mail Sport understands the Italian club held a meeting earlier this week when it was decided they would demand closer to £86million (100m euro) for him.
Hojlund has agreed to a limited representation agreement with the SEM agency, which also represents Ten Hag.
