Bremer to Manchester United
The 26-year-old has been enjoying a stellar campaign in the Italian top flight this season, scoring two goals and keeping 11 clean sheets in 22 league games. Massimiliano Allegri's side have been in the title race this season and Bremer has been an integral part of the Bianconeri's starting eleven.
Thus, impressed by the South American's recent performances with Juventus, Manchester United has decided to show its interest in signing him.
