Manchester United�s hopes of landing top transfer target Marco Reus have been boosted after cracks started opening up in Jurgen Klopp�s Borussia Dortmund empire.
Rocked by injuries to key players, Dortmund have dropped out of the title race in Germany and are no longer even Bayern Munich�s biggest threat, after surrendering second place to Bayer Leverkusen.
Though there is no suggestion of his job being under threat, the dramatic about-turn in Klopp�s fortunes is beginning to affect his mood, with the ready smile of old replaced by a scowl in recent weeks.
