United have asked for information on Borussia Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton, according to reports in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils have prioritised central midfield as their key area of focus ahead of the upcoming transfer window having spent \u00a3200million to overhaul their misfiring attack last summer.<\/p>\n<p>However, Old Trafford bosses are also scouring the market for potential defensive additions, with left-back and centre-back identified as positions that could be reinforced.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Carrick has been short of options at centre-half in recent weeks and growing concerns over Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt\u2019s persistent injury problems mean United are actively seeking possible long-term solutions in the transfer market.<\/p>\n<p>Nottingham Forest\u2019s Murillo is believed to have several admirers at United and has emerged as a profile who could provide more reliable cover and competition at the heart of the defence.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sky Germany, Dortmund centre-back Anton is also attracting strong interest and United have made an enquiry to learn more about his current situation, along with Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>While Nico Schlotterbeck is edging closer to signing a new contract, there are some fears within Dortmund\u2019s hierarchy that his centre-back partner, Anton, could be coaxed away.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\"

linked for some time having made an unsuccessful move for the Germany international when Xabi Alonso was in charge of the club in 2024, only for the centre-half to leave Stuttgart for BVB.<\/p>\n<p>Dortmund are not actively looking to do business for Anton, though, given the 29-year-old is regarded as a \u2018key player\u2019, a \u2018defensive leader\u2019 and an \u2018indispensable part of the starting XI\u2019.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"467\"

rumours that he could be on the move, insisting he remained fully focussed on winning silverware with Dortmund.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Whether there are rumours or not, I don\u2019t even notice them,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018To be honest, I\u2019m not interested.
