Manchester United is in search of a midfielder before the summer transfer window closes and one of the names that has gained strength in the last hours is Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart.
The 24-year-old German has emerged as a real alternative following the difficulties in securing the signing of Carlos Baleba, a priority target during the summer, as reported by journalist Ben Jacobs.

Angelo Stiller, the alternative to Baleba
The English club considers Baleba's signing difficult due to Brighton's toughness in negotiations and the high cost that the operation could reach, estimated in exorbitant figures after the sale of other players like Caicedo or Mac Allister. Faced with this scenario, Stiller's option is much more attractive: his transfer fee would be around 34 million pounds, practically half of what Baleba would cost.
Ruben Amorim has made it clear to the board that he needs a midfielder capable of bringing balance to the team. Currently, Bruno Fernandes has had to drop back in his position to compensate for a midfield where Casemiro, at 33 years old, no longer offers the same intensity as before. The lack of rhythm and pressure in that area of the field has raised serious doubts at the start of the season, prompting action in the transfer market.

The German midfielder is coming off a brilliant season with Stuttgart, with whom he won the DFB Pokal. His ability to control the pace of the game, stay calm under pressure, and provide defensive security have made him one of the standout players in the German team.
Competition in the market
Real Madrid's interest in Stiller reinforces the idea that he is a player with international projection. However, at Old Trafford, they believe that this is the ideal moment to finalize his signing before his price skyrockets. The possibility of adding a young player with competitive maturity and experience in European tournaments aligns perfectly with the current team needs.
United knows it must act swiftly. Stiller offers youth, reliability, and an accessible cost, fitting into Amorim's reconstruction plan. If his arrival is finalized, the German could become the key piece for the club to regain solidity in midfield and compete with confidence in the Premier League and international competitions.
