Manchester United are waiting for the green light to bid for Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.
The Daily Star says United officials have already put feelers out to Hummels' camp to determine if the Germany defender would be keen to move to Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund.
They hope the World Cup winner will make a decision on his future now he has returned from Brazil and if there is mutual interest they will put in an offer of £20m.
