Manchester United have received a big boost as the reports reveal that Mats Hummels will move to Manchester United, as per Manchester Evening.
The Red Devils have been in link with the German centre-back since long but now their summer move is likely to be done soon as the reports reveal that Hummels promised Sir Alex Ferguson that he would join Manchester United if he leave Germany.
Former Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson was being told by Hummels when he went to Germany to discuss Robert Lewandowski and Shinji Kagawa moves in 2012.
Kagawa sealed United deal for a fee around £12million pound, however, Sir Alex failed to sign Lewandowski and then landed Robin van Persie from Arsenal.
Hummels who was the part of World Cup winning squad told Ferguson that time: “Should I make the move abroad one day, then it will only be to Manchester United.”
The 26-year-old has two years left on his current contract but is ready to leave Dortmund this summer despite of his teammate Marco Reus' decision of staying.
The Bundesliga outfit will lose another star, they have already sold several of their star players including Mario Gotze, and Lewandowski in the past few years.
However, Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke told German newspaper Bild: "He is under contract until 2017, and we have not received an offer. That's why we are completely relaxed."
Meanwhile Arsenal who were also interested in his move will now have to look for other defenders.
