United outline Brobbey transfer stance
Manchester United could look to hijack Ajax's swoop for RB Leipzig striker Brian Brobbey as Erik ten Hag strives to improve his attacking options amid uncertainty over the future of Cristiano Ronaldo.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News , the club have altered their transfer plans due to Ronaldo's desire to leave Old Trafford and, although two more defensive signings are still on the agenda, a new forward has now been prioritised once prospective deals for Christian Eriksen and Frenkie de Jong have been concluded.
It's now understood that Ten Hag has made contact with young forward Brobbey and is keen on a reunion with his fellow Dutchman to reinforce the attacking areas. The 20-year-old currently plays for RB Leipzig, but is free to leave this summer after failing to settle in Germany.
