RB Leipzig midfielder Emil Forsberg flattered by Man Utd, AC Milan interest

RB Leipzig midfielder Emil Forsberg admits he's flattered by fresh rumours this week of interest from Manchester United.

Bayern Munich and AC Milan have also been tipped to make a move with Forsberg specifically hailing the Italian side.

But he has now addressed his comments and also played down talk of him leaving Leipzig this summer.

“I only answered a journalist's question. I would have given the same answer for Bayern Munich," Forsberg told Kicker.

“Milan is one of the biggest clubs in the world, along with Real [Madrid], Barcelona or Manchester United.

“I have always spoken positively about RB. I don't understand the fuss. Everything is fine.

“I'm totally motivated and focused and ideally want to play an even better season with RB than the last one."
