RB Leipzig boss drops big hint he wants to sign Man Utd target Haaland

RB Leipzig sporting director Markus Krosche has dropped a huge hint that the Bundesliga title chasers are interested in signing Red Bull Salzburg sensation Erling Braut Haaland.

The 19-year-old Norwegian striker is one of the most wanted men in European football at the moment after a blistering spell of goalscoring form.

He has scored 26 goals in 18 appearances this season, including seven in four in the Champions League, and Goal can confirm that Manchester United are seriously interested in a January transfer swoop.
