Manchester United interested in RB Leipzig duo

Manchester United is targeting RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer in the next transfer window.

According to leading football journalist, Jan Aage Fjortoft has reported about Manchester United’s interest in the RB Leipzig duo.

Manchester United is ready to splash some cash to sign the highly rated and highly talented young French defender Dayot Upamecano. Manchester United faced some problems defensively last season. They have conceded some goals for their own foolish mistakes last season. To make their defense better, they have signed Alex Telles from Porto this summer.

But there was no reinforcement in the centre-back position. Chris Smalling has left the club in the summer and joined AS Roma in a permanent deal. The poor form of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, the injury problem of Eric Baily, and Axel Tuanzebe is causing Manchester United multiple problems. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will surely go for a new defender next summer. Dayot Upamecano is his top priority.

Marcel Sabitzer is a very talented winger. He possesses a real goal-scoring ability. He was excellent in his last season with RB Leipzig where the German club had a dream run towards the semi-final of UEFA Champions League.

The Austrian international has played 193 games for the Bundesliga side and scored 43 goals for them in his career.

Upamecano and Sabitzer will be an excellent addition to the Manchester United squad and will also increase the depth in the squad. But United’s transfer policy has been strange of late so it will be interesting to see how this transfer saga goes.
