German international linked with Old Trafford
Strong links of the Bundesliga champions making a $100m bid for West Ham captain Rice, however, have added a cloud over Gortetzka’s future in Germany with Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag reportedly in the market for a new central midfielder and a fan of the German, who has a reputation for a rocket shot.
