The Germany international has fallen down the pecking order at the Bavarian giants this term. He has been a regular off the bench with Aleksandar Pavlovic and Joshua Kimmich being the preferred picks in central midfield.

Goretzka is said to be frustrated by his situation and a recent report claimed that United could attempt to land his signature at the turn of the year.

However, the story has been dismissed by Plettenberg, who has clarified that Goretzka is unlikely to consider a new challenge in the next transfer window .

He is happy to fight for his starting position at the Munich giants and will thereby turn down a January proposal to move to Old Trafford.

United are eyeing a new defensive midfielder with Casemiro widely expected to move to the Saudi Pro League at some point next year.
