Manchester United are pushing to close a deal for Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.
The Daily Star says United have stepped up their pursuit of £20m defender Hummels.
United have sounded out the Borussia Dortmund centre-half's camp to see if he would be interested in a switch to Old Trafford.
They want to know if Germany star Hummels, 25, is keen before following up their interest with an offer.
And sources close to the player offered United hope yesterday by refusing to rule out a move.
