Werner picks Man Utd over Liverpool as RB Leipzig star plots Premier League move

The 22-year-old attacker continues to impress in the Bundesliga but is already planning a switch to England in the near future

Timo Werner has admitted that he hopes to play in the Premier League in the near future, naming Liverpool and Manchester United as favoured destinations.

The 22-year-old striker has been a regular scorer for RB Leipzig since making the switch from Stuttgart in 2016, ending last season with 21 goals from 31 Bundesliga appearances and following it up with 10 in 23 so far this term.

Such form is likely to see him attract interest from across Europe in the near future and, while Werner already has a few potential options picked out, his heart lies at Old Trafford.
