If Solskjaer still have any doubt in Timo Werner’s ability to score goals, then, his performance on Saturday will definitely put that doubt to bed.

The 23-year-old German striker put up another masterclass display on Saturday as his hat-trick helped his side RB Leipzig to a huge 8-0 victory over Mainz 05.

Leipzig, who were in front of their fans, took the lead in the opening five minutes via b Marcel Sabitzer’s shot before Werner doubled the lead 25 minutes later.

Christopher Nkunku, Marcel Halstenberg and Yusuf Poulsen all found the back of the net to bring the scoreline to 5-0 before the break.

Werner recorded his second of the night three minutes after the restart, while, Nordi Mukiele made it 7-0 in the 50th minute.

The Red Devils transfer target completed his hat-trick in the 87th minute to give his teammates the deserved victory.

United will reportedly face intense competition from Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp who is monitoring the player’s performance with his German side.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss has reportedly listed the highly-rated striker on his list of winter transfer targets as he plans to upgrade his attack in January.
