Reports suggest Manchester United are unsure about making a late move for Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller.
United to consider Stuttgart star after exits
**Manchester United**’s transfer hunt has taken another twist. The club is reportedly pulling back from pushing forward for Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller.
Sources claim the German’s name has been discussed internally. But, he is not viewed as a like-for-like replacement for Brighton’s Carlos Baleba. He remains out of reach this window. Stiller is admired for his composure and range of passing.
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes is central to the team’s plans and Kobbie Mainoo tipped to play a bigger role this season. So, the move looks unlikely.
Stiller’s release clause sits around £32m. That makes him an accessible target for this window. But, United are not rushing into a signing that doesn’t fit their long-term vision. Stuttgart want to keep him, especially with little time to find a replacement.

Red Devils weighing their options carefully
The mood is one of hesitation. Although, Stiller enjoyed a standout campaign last season and remains on Amorim’s radar, no formal talks have been opened.
United’s focus is on players who can slot straight into the first team. He wants someone who can help them push for UCL qualification, not short-term fixes. The club has already insisted they are not looking for quick loan deals or panic buys. Instead, Stiller is being tracked if unexpected exits force them to make him.
At this point, Stiller’s chances of a move rely more on Old Trafford exits than the Red Devils’ ambition. Unless something happens, he may stay in Stuttgart.
Author’s Opinion
United are right to think twice. Spending £32m on a player who doesn’t fully fit the plan would be careless. If Mainoo and Fernandes stay, Stiller should remain just a name on the watchlist.
