Ralf Rangnick is eager to enhance the defense at Manchester United, and Akanji is among the players who have been identified as potential candidates to join the club. The Swiss defender's contract with Borussia Dortmund expires in the summer of 2023, and he has yet to agree to a new deal with the club.

A contract of approximately €8 million per year was reportedly offered to Akanji by Dortmund, but he turned it down. According to the article, Rangnick wants to offer Akanji a contract worth roughly €15 million per year, which is nearly quadruple his present salary.

However, Manchester United's position in the Champions League could be critical in whether Akanji decides to sign with the club or stay with his current team. In contrast to Dortmund, Rangnick's team will have a considerably more difficult time qualifying for the competition.

Manuel Akanji has been linked to a move to Manchester United.

Money, on the other hand, has a way of speaking for itself, and the massive offer from Manchester United would be impossible to refuse for anyone. United are in a tricky position when it comes to signing players since they are unsure of who will take over as manager in the near future.

Depending on who is in charge at the time, Akanji may or may not be a good fit for the position. If this is the case, Akanji may postpone making a judgment in order to find out who has been selected.
