His target of a title could come true as Lucian Favre’s side lead Bayern Munich in the title race by four points after winning five of their opening seven fixtures, but Akanji admits United remain a bigger target for him.
Akanji said: “Many know that Manchester United has been my favourite club since childhood. It would be nice to play there.
“But, that’s not an issue right now. I am very satisfied in Dortmund. I want to win titles with BVB and compete in many more big tournaments with the Swiss national team.”
