The Bundesliga star, described as a "strategic reinforcement" by United, fits the club's data-informed recruitment approach targeting players entering peak years. His homegrown status from Manchester City's academy adds further appeal.
Nmecha's reported valuation of £39m-48m reflects his growing importance at Dortmund, while United would likely increase his wages from £83,000 to around £150,000 weekly. The club is also reportedly targeting Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson as part of a double midfield addition.
