“After a lot of persuasion, my international teammate who is currently in the Bundesliga is finally ready to join me in the Premier League. This striker is just the one we need right now on the team” — Manchester United are reportedly signing a striker from the Bundesliga after an insider’s recommendation.

Florian Plettenberg reports that Manchester United is considering a potential move for RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner.

The club has expressed interest in the German forward, but formal negotiations have not taken place yet.

Werner is reportedly discontent with his current situation at Leipzig, which could create an opportunity for a January transfer if interested teams pursue the option.
