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.

The striker is out of contract in the summer and has confirmed that he is considering his options ahead of a potential free transfer outing in the summer.

Erik ten Hag wants to keep adding to his side as he tries to turn around United’s fortunes
Manchester United are believed to be one of the clubs pursuing his signature, with ten Hag apparently eager to bring the German star on board for their Old Trafford revolution.
While the 33-year-old would not cost United a penny in terms of transfer fee, his current salary is believed to be in excess of £200,000 a week.
But ten Hag will again look to revamp his playing squad in the summer as the club’s fortunes continue to turn, apparently having made them Premier League title contenders this season.

Marcus Rashford has been a revolution for the Dutch side, but Antony has struggled to settle on the club’s right, with Jadon Sancho dealing with personal issues and others like Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Elanga needing time to settle.
Reus would fit the mold of a player ready to perform today, as the Red Devils aspire to compete on all fronts and can operate in several forward positions as an added benefit.
Reus, who has been a Dortmund player for 11 years, said of his future: “That’s why I have an agent: to take care of these things.”
