In a recent report, AS mentioned that Manchester United are keen on signing Bayern Munich ace Joshua Kimmich next year. It is believed that the Red Devils are eager to strengthen their midfield by recruiting the German international.
Kimmich’s Impressive Run Of Form In Bundesliga
Kimmich has produced a series of decent performances at the centre of Bayern’s midfield during this campaign. The German talent has registered one goal and picked up six assists in 20 matches for his current employers this season across all fronts.
The 28-year-old has been a good performer at both ends of the field as he is averaging 2.0 tackles, 0.8 interceptions, 0.5 clearances, 1.2 shots and 2.7 key passes per game in the Bundesliga. He has even been accurate when distributing possession from midfield after completing 90.4% of his attempted passes in the top tier of German football (stats via whoscored).
Kimmich is under contract at the Bavarian club until the summer of 2025 which could open the door for the Red Devils to land him on the cheap at the end of this campaign.
Is Kimmich A Good Choice For Manchester United Boss Erik Ten Hag?
Kimmich is a good tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and can shoot the ball with venom from long range.
The German sensation can even engineer a few inviting chances for his teammates in the opposition half. He is primarily a defensive midfielder but can also operate as a box-to-box midfielder or as a right-back if required.
We can expect Kimmich to bring more quality and depth to Man United head coach Erik ten Hag’s match-day squad. He is good enough to secure a regular starting spot at Old Trafford in the coming years. At 28, Kimmich is enjoying the peak stage of his playing career at the moment and is well-equipped to make an instant impact at the Mancunian club if ten Hag can devise a way to sign him next year.
Kimmich has got a wealth of experience at the highest level and would be an excellent choice for the Red Devils to pursue in the summer transfer window.
