Manchester United linked with move for Bundesliga striker
According to Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United have been linked with a move for RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner.
Plettenberg has said Manchester United have already enquired in the German forward, however there haven’t been any negotiations yet.
Werner is said to be “not satisfied” with his current situation at Leipzig, and this could open the door to a move in January if teams come knocking.
