Bayern Munich centre-back Niklas Sule "dreams" of playing for Manchester United at some point in the future, according to Bild journalist Christian Falk.
The 25-year-old joined Bayern from Hoffenheim in 2017 and has made 109 appearances for the treble winners in all competitions, including nine outings during the 2020-21 campaign.
Sule missed the bulk of last season with a serious knee injury but appears to be back to full fitness.
The defender's existing deal at the Allianz Arena only has 18 months left to run, though, and according to Falk, the Germany international "dreams" of turning out for the 20-time English champions.
United were believed to be considering signing a new centre-back during the summer transfer window, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side lacking depth in that area of the field.
Chris Smalling was allowed to leave the club over the summer, but Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo both remained at Old Trafford despite being surplus to requirements.
