The German ace has been on the Red Devils' radar this season, with recent reports suggesting Louis van Gaal will try and sign Gundogan and his team-mate Mats Hummels.

Arsenal have also been tracking the 24-year-old with Arsene Wenger keen to beef up his midfield.

The Sun claim Dortmund are ready to cash in on Gundogan, who is thought to be valued at £20million.

They suggest that Louis van Gaal has been happy with Michael Carrick this term, but he is willing to accommodate two deep-lying midfielders.
