Man Utd are interested in the forward ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 19-year-old forward is on the radar of several top clubs, with Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain also monitoring his progress. Diomande has been one of the standout players in the Bundesliga this season and has a reported €100m (£87m) price tag ahead of the summer.
United will be in the market for a left winger after they attempted to sign Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth before he joined Man City. The club did not plan to do any major business during the winter window, but they were prepared to accelerate plans to sign a left winger because Semenyo represented such an attractive market opportunity. Diomande has eight goals and six assists across all competitions this season and was part of the Ivory Coast squad at the recent Africa Cup of Nations.

Yan Diomande is expected to be on the move at the end of the season, with Manchester United one of the clubs interested in a potential transfer. United will prioritise a midfield refresh this summer, with two additions expected in that position, but will also hope to add a left winger to their squad. They will also consider defensive reinforcement and could look to sign a back up goalkeeper if others leave the club.
United were prepared to spent in the region of £65 million to sign Antoine Semenyo in the winter window and could be willing to spend a similar fee on another forward this summer. Diomande is considered one of the most exciting talents in European football, though United have a preference to sign those already proven in the Premier League.
An exception could be made to sign a player like the 19-year-old, and he is gearing up for a potential summer move after he recently changed agency. Diomande has been unveiled as a new client for Roc Nation Sports, the sports management division of Roc Nation, which was founded by American rapper and businessman JAY-Z.
Roc Nations Sports confirmed the partnership in a social media post, while notorious transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano declared it an 'important decision' ahead of the summer window. "RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomandé has signed today with Roc Nation Sports International as new agency," he wrote on social media. "Important decision ahead of summer transfer window with several top clubs keen."
