Three-time European champions Manchester United have been linked with a move for Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window in the New Year.

This is according to the specific report from Daily Mirror which revealed that retired German international center-back Jerome Boateng will be offered to Manchester United again in the New Year.

Jerome Boateng was seriously linked with Manchester United during the Jose Mourinho era at the club.

Portuguese tactician Mourinho asked the club for a new central defender and Jerome Boateng was one of the players linked to fill that role.

Jose Mourinho was adversely affected by a lack of a new central defender at the start of last season before being sacked by Manchester United after a poor start to the campaign.

The former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss was sacked as the Manchester United manager on the back of the loss at the hands of arch rivals Liverpool.

Jose Mourinho and Manchester United were beaten 3-1 at the home of Liverpool.

That Liverpool game was the last one managed by Mourinho at Manchester United.

Manchester United have since signed a new central defender this season with Harry Maguire joining the club from Leicester City.
