TRIBUNWOW.COM – Here’s a detailed look at Borussia Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United during the 2026 summer transfer window.

Waldemar Anton’s impressive performances have placed him on Manchester United’s shortlist as they look to strengthen their defensive line for the upcoming season.

According to a report by TribunWow.com citing SportsMole on Wednesday (June 3, 2026), Manchester United are reportedly considering a move to sign Borussia Dortmund centre-back Waldemar Anton.

This interest emerged after Manchester United secured a Champions League berth by finishing third in the 2025/2026 English Premier League season.

The club’s management is now focused on boosting squad quality to compete across multiple competitions next season.

According to The Mirror, Manchester United have already dispatched scouts to monitor Anton’s progress over recent months.

The Red Devils are believed to be preparing an offer worth £35 million, approximately Rp847.34 billion, to bring Anton to Old Trafford.

Waldemar Anton joined Borussia Dortmund from VfB Stuttgart in the summer of 2024.

Since his arrival, the 29-year-old has quickly established himself as a key component of Dortmund’s defensive setup.

His stellar club form has also earned him a place in the Germany national team.

So far, Anton has made 12 appearances for the German national side and is included in the squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Manchester United anticipate that the transfer process could only be finalized after the 2026 World Cup concludes.

This is because Anton’s performances in the tournament could influence his market value in the transfer market.

Although he remains under contract until 2028, Waldemar Anton could still leave Dortmund given Manchester United’s strong interest.

If the transfer materializes, Anton could become a vital part of Michael Carrick’s squad at Manchester United.
