What we know
Manchester United are reportedly weighing a move for VfB Stuttgart goalkeeper Dennis Seimen, with several outlets describing him as a potential long-term target. His contract at Stuttgart runs to June 2029, which gives the German club time to plan, but the reports frame him as a prospect United are exploring rather than a player they are rushing to sign.
No window is specified in the current reports, though the interest is described as early-stage. The story broke on 2 Nov, when The Peoples Person, fotbolltransfers.com and Yahoo Sports all carried the same claim, each attributing the interest to fussball-news.de. Centre Devils followed on 3 Nov, repeating the same line and adding that INEOS are exploring a move. All four outlets agree that no contact has been made between the clubs. What the sources leave open is whether a formal approach will follow.
Centre Devils explicitly states that no offer has been made, and fotbolltransfers.com adds that no contact has occurred yet.
