Mats Hummels is too slow, can't defend, Owen Hargreaves warns Manchester United.

 

Ex-Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has cautioned the Red Devils not to sign Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.

The Germany World Cup winner has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for some time now and it’s thought that United will make an approach for the 25-year old in the summer.

However, Hargreaves reckons that Hummels lacks the mettle to handle the rather physical Premier League.

Hargreaves told BT Sport: "He's a super, super ball-playing centre-back but I don't think he can defend, he's too slow.

"He's Franz Beckenbauer, the new version, a super passer but I think that if I'm Manchester United I want Vidic, I want Kompany. I think he's a nice football player, he's easy on the eye, but United need somebody physical, a presence.

"He's the captain of Borussia Dortmund, they're last in the Bundesliga. Is that the measuring stick for Manchester United? I'm not so sure."

Hummels has won 38 caps for Die Mannschaft.
