Manchester United fans have taken to Twitter to react after The Mirror reported that the club are ready to hijack Liverpool’s move for RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.
The report states that Werner – who signed a new four-year contract with the Bundesliga side back in the summer – is in the Red Devils’ sights ahead of a January move as they prepare to beat rivals Liverpool to his signature.
When signing his new contract, a £27m release clause was reportedly included in the terms, which would make the 28-cap Germany international a bargain given his goalscoring prowess over the last few campaigns.
Werner already has 13 goals and six assists in just 15 appearances this season, having notched 19 goals and ten assists last term – the 23-year-old has 74 goals in 129 games for the Bundesliga side in total.
United believe that the promise of regular starts will convince Werner to choose them over European champions Liverpool, who boast a rich frontline consisting of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
Let’s take a look at how the United fans on Twitter reacted to the news…
