Manchester United have tabled a proposal for RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner, according to The Athletic.

Barcelona are also believed to be on forward’s tail, with the player having been in seriously impressive form this campaign.

Werner has spoken out about his future this week, suggesting he would be open to moving to Anfield as he would fit manager Jurgen Klopp’s style of play. However, the German international is apparently still waiting for the Merseysiders to follow up their interest.
