Hummels: I've decided to stay at Dortmund

The 26-year-old is flattered by United's interest and has failed to commit his long-term future to Borussia Dortmund

Mats Hummels says he is “honoured” by Manchester United’s interest but has confirmed that he has decided to stay at Borussia Dortmund.

The 26-year-old has been a long-term target for United and has previously revealed that he would be keen to eventually join a club outside of the Bundesliga.

But following the arrival of Thomas Tuchel as Jurgen Klopp’s successor at Dortmund, Hummels has opted to stay in Germany for another campaign.

“There have always been rumours about almost every one of our players, but I decided not to make the move this year,” Hummels told reporters in Singapore.

“Of course when the big clubs are interested, and Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, it’s an honour.

“But I decided I wanted to stay here.

"I've been at Dortmund for a very long time, I haven't set a limit. It’s hard to say what future brings, but I'm still here after seven years."
