It was revealed that RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner is a top attacking target for Manchester United, but they could lose the petite German international star to Premier League opposition Liverpool who also have the red hot striker in their sights.
Liverpool are closing in on a January swoop on the said Timo Werner who has also been linked with another English top flight team Chelsea and a potential transfer is dependent on the signing of a replacement for him at RB Leipzig.

Red Bull Salzburg striker Erling Haaland is a top target for RB Leipzig and if they sign the Norwegian international that would free Timo Werner up for him to join Liverpool ahead of Manchester United.
In a potential twist, Manchester United can stop Liverpool from signing Timo Werner if they swoop for Erling Haaland who is also a target with recent reports claiming that the Red Bull Salzburg has agreed to join the Red Devils in a £76m deal next month and this means that the aforementioned Werner will most likely stay at RB Leipzig until the summer at least.
