Rumours: How many players can Manchester United be linked with?

Marco Reus is linked with Liverpool today

Lots of big names are being linked with moves today and most of them are German internationals. Will any of these deals come off?

Liverpool have reportedly moved into pole position for Borussia Dortmund's contract rebel Marco Reus and could make a move in January.

The Bundesliga outfit were hopeful of agreeing a new long-term deal with the German international, although any chance of that happening now seems to be over.

The 25-year-old looks set to move away from Dortmund in January and Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is hoping to splash the cash in order to add more attacking threat to his side.

According to several media outlets in England, a bid of 32million should be enough to land the midfielder, although they will have to combine that offer with a huge contract worth 180,000-a-week.

Staying in the Premier League and Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is hoping to be re-united with Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez come January.

The Daily Mirror are reporting the former Saints manager is willing to offer around 20million for the Englishman's services and is hopeful the signing can kick-start Spurs' stuttering season.

Moving on and there are at least four Premier League clubs interested in securing the services of Sami Khedira from Real Madrid, according to Shoot.

The German international is said to be unsettled at the Spanish club and is actively seeking a move away in January, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City all interested.

The latter are the latest side to throw their name in to the mix as Manuel Pellegrini still has doubts over the long-term future of Ivorian Yaya Toure, and a move for Khedira for around 8million is a real possibility.

According to the Daily Star, City's Manchester rivals are weighing up a move for Bayer Leverkusen defender Omer Toprak as Louis van Gaal looks to strengthen his defensive options.

The 25-year-old has been an ever-present for the Bundesliga outfit this season and has produced a number of top-class performances that have caught the eye of the former Holland manager.

United are willing to shell out around 12million for the defender and given the money they spent this summer, the signing would be a snip at that relatively cheap price.

Sticking with the Red Devils and the club are monitoring Schalke duo Benedikt Howedes and Julian Draxler, according to German outlet Bild.

The latter almost moved to Arsenal in the last January transfer window and although a move was rejected by the midfielder, interest from United could be harder to resist.

Howedes is also being closely looked at as Van Gaal is still keen on shaking up the leaky defence currently present at Old Trafford.
