Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly interested in Timo Werner of RB Leipzig.

According to The Mirror, Manchester United want to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig ahead of Liverpool in the January transfer window.

It has been reported that Werner has a buyout clause of £27 million in his contract at Leipzig.

The report has claimed that United believe getting regular first-team football at Old Trafford will convince the 23-year-old to snub Liverpool’s interest.

The Reds have a very settled attacking unit, while the Red Devils could do with a new striker as a replacement for Romelu Lukaku.

Determination

This latest report in The Mirror indicates that United are determined to land Werner in January.

Last month, The Express reported that although the Red Devils were keen on the 23-year-old, they would have to wait until next summer to secure the services of the striker.

However, it seems that United are very keen on bringing the Germany international striker to Old Trafford in the middle of the season.

According to WhoScored, Werner has scored nine goals and provided three assists in 10 Bundesliga appearances for Leipzig so far this season.
