Man Utd will look to add a forward to their squad in the summer transfer window and here is the latest gossip.
Manchester United are monitoring RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande ahead of a potential move in the summer transfer window.
United aim to add a versatile forward to their squad at the end of the season, with the preference to sign someone who is a natural option on the left wing. Diomande is widely regarded as one of the most promising teenagers in Europe and has netted 10 goals and registered 7 assists across all competitions this campaign.
Leipzig had no interest in selling the 19-year-old during the winter transfer window, but could look to cash in on their prize asset in the summer. The Bundesliga club slapped a €100 million (£87m) price tag on Diomande, though there is a belief that a lower initial fee could be agreed to secure his signature this summer.

“Man United are looking at left wingers, and I'm sure there will be movement on this in the next months, waiting to understand who's going to be the manager.”
