Karim Adeyemi tipped as ideal January fix for United’s AFCON exodus

December 2025

Manchester United have been urged to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi in January to cover their right flank when Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo leave for Africa Cup of Nations duty. Dietmar Hamann claims Adeyemi’s dynamic profile is a strong fit for both the Premier League and Ruben Amorim’s game model. Hamann says Adeyemi is Dortmund’s most consistent attacking outlet and would add much needed pace and direct running to United’s front line, easing the impact of AFCON absences. He also accepts that convincing Dortmund to sell a key player in mid season will be difficult, given his importance there.

November 2025

Schlotterbeck is reluctant to extend beyond 2027, unhappy with Niko Kovac’s pragmatic style after recent setbacks, per German reports.
