Manchester United are looking into signing three big names from Bayern Munich this summer, with Bastian Schweinsteiger among them if recent reports are anything to by.

The Red Devils need more quality and depth to their squad if they are to challenge for the title next season, with Louis van Gaal keen to continue the rebuilding process started last summer with a raft of new signings all over the pitch.

This spine of players helped Bayern to the treble in 2013, and are all amongst the best in the world in their positions, though they could cost as much as £82m combined…

1) Bastian Schweinsteiger

In a deal worth around £12m, United have been strongly linked with German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is no longer guaranteed a starting spot in Pep Guardiola’s side, despite being one of the best central midfielders in the world for many years.

2) Dante

A commanding centre-back worth roughly £20m, United have also been linked several times with a move for Brazilian international Dante, who looks just what Van Gaal’s side needs at the back next season.

3) Thomas Muller

In a move worth at least £50m, United have also been linked with an exciting bid for German forward Thomas Muller, whose prolific touch in the penalty area could make him the best possible replacement for Robin van Persie, though the player himself has suggested he is happy at the Allianz Arena.
