Ole to pip Klopp to Werner

Reports in the Mirror claim that Manchester United are planning to hijack Liverpool's attempts to bring RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner to Anfield.

Werner signed a new long-term contract with Leipzig in the summer after failing to secure a dream move to Bayern Munich. However, the new deal includes a bargain release clause of just £27 million -- a development that is set to spark a huge head-to-head battle with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in January.
