Check it out. There are pictures of him at the airport. He isn't on Dortmunds squad for their next game.

Reus would be an excellent move for them.
That said in regards to Robin Van Persie. Look at how many goals he scores. Which one of them was on a big spot for the Dutch national team to help them win anything?
How many Eurocups or World Cups did any of those 3 help Holland win? How many games where they a part of where they were utterly embarrassed?
RVP is the epitome of a fairweather player who scores in bunches against inferior competition but never in a big spot.
As far as Robben and Schneider, neither could hack it in the greatest club in the world. I loved Wesley Schneider but he is too brittle, which I guess isn't his fault. As far as Robben is concerned, lots of skill but one of the stupidest players I have ever seen. I've never seen a more selfish ::Beeep:: player. He thinks he can single handedly carry a team on his back and walk with the ball into the net. Except he cant. And he never scores when the chips are down.

You'll be disappointed, Reus will not move this summer. I'd put any money on that, and I heavily doubt he was in Manchester.
Check on Twitter. There were shots of him from different angles and parts in the airport with hundreds (some over 1k) meeting a United official.
I will admit that I've never seen more unreliable rumors than when talking soccer transfers. The least reliable in the business. Where there's smoke there is actually water, in that sphere. I'll see if I can find any reputable sources reporting it.

John Stones of Everton has requested to be transferred as per Sky Sports. If I'm United, I'm all over that.
I refuse to believe anything anymore.
Neymar would be cool. Not happening. Just another guy using United to negotiate.

Is Neymar due for a new contract though? United are like the Rangers of European soccer. Agents use them to negotiate sweeter deals with other teams constantly.
LVG says that Fellani will be playing more of an attacking role rather than as a box to box mid. Could be interesting, but I just don't see the offensive quality in him to be successful as a target man striker.
Go out and get a center back, damn it. Blind is going to be exposed badly when playing against Chelsea and City.
Got to think Matri gets sold this year. Lazio was interested in him last year as well. Decent player, but just can't seem to fit with Milan.
Menez played in a deeper playmaking role with PSG and Monaco, so perhaps they want to revert him back to that position.
Bacca with a rotation of Adriano, Niang and Balotelli should get a lot of goals.
However, Milan still neglect their terrible midfield.

Cillesson will come over. Not that worried.
Would just need to get Bale with that De Gea deal.
Make it happen, Ed.

United should get Marquinhos from PSG and Berbatov on a free to be the third striker, loan out Januzaj and Wilson and they should be done for this transfer window.
P$G aren't selling Marquinhos. Apparently they rejected 40m bid from Chelsea.
Berbatov back to Utd would be hilarious though, I'd love to see it.

They should take it. Krusty the Clown gets into the side over Marquinhos and they have Kimpembe who should be ready to be the #3 center-back.
Silva is a risk for injury and isn't quite the defender he was a couple of years ago. They'd be one (likely) injury away from starting Kimpembe and Luiz together in the UCL, which they intend on competing in. I can see why they want to hold onto Marquinhos.

Doesn't the window close today though? They would need to get the Cillesson move going now. The talk is also that Navas is coming with cash for De Gea
