Manchester United 'looking to muscle in on ex-Ajax striker Brian Brobbey'

Manchester United are seeking to torpedo Ajax's attempt at re-signing former player Brian Brobbey.

Manager Erik ten Hag called the 20-year-old, who is at RB Leipzig but desperate to leave, in an attempt to convince him to come to Old Trafford instead of going back to Amsterdam, according to The Times.

Brobbey, who came through Ajax's academy, joined RB Leipzig on a free transfer in summer 2021 having been touted as one of Europe's most promising rising stars.
