Man Utd jump into Werner battle with tech check

Manchester United have joined the interest in RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.

The Manchester Evening News says United are looking into the possibility of signing Werner.

The Red Devils have already decided to target Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish in the summer transfer window with Ed Woodward and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer making plans for next season.

United are using data analytics similar to Liverpool and Manchester City to identify the striker they want to sign.

And that has led to them looking at Werner as one of the players who could be recruited.

The 24-year-old has been in sensational form this season, netting 27 goals and providing 12 assists in all competitions.

That has led to a number of Premier League clubs being linked with him including United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
