Gnabry, who is 28 years old, has become a key figure for Bayern Munich since his move from Werder Bremen in the summer of 2017, especially after an impressive debut season in Germany. During his six-year tenure with the Bundesliga champions, he has made 223 appearances and scored an impressive 82 goals, contributing significantly to Bayern's dominance in their domestic league. He is also a vital part of the German national team, with 22 goals in 43 appearances since his international debut in December 2015.
According to reports from Spanish outlet Nacional, Manchester United is actively preparing to make a move for Gnabry to bring him to Old Trafford in the January transfer window. The motivation behind this pursuit is the club's desire to add players who can play in various forward positions, given recent issues with some of their current first-team members.
Winger Antony has taken a leave of absence amid allegations of domestic abuse, and Jadon Sancho, a former Borussia Dortmund player, has been sidelined from the senior squad following a dispute with United's head coach. Consequently, Manchester United is believed to be in the market for a new winger in the upcoming year, with Serge Gnabry from Bayern catching the eye of their manager, Erik ten Hag.
It's worth noting that Gnabry is under contract with Bayern Munich until the summer of 2026, which means that Manchester United would likely need to offer a significant fee to secure his services. Gnabry did have a stint in the Premier League earlier in his career, but he struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup during his time at both Arsenal and a loan spell at West Bromwich Albion under Tony Pulis.
In addition to Manchester United's interest, it's reported that Spanish giants Real Madrid are also keen on acquiring the services of the German international, which could lead to serious competition for his signature.
