19 years young, 19 Bundesliga games with 7 goals and 5 assists. A player in the starting pit, you say? Not when he is considered the “greatest talent since Erling Haaland” at Red Bull. Liverpool already have big plans for Yan Diomande, Manchester United are now joining the race.
According to English Caughtoffside’s sources, Liverpool are in pole position. Diomande is said to be the top candidate to be the long-term replacement of superstar Salah on the right wing, the perfect type of player for Liverpool’s system. Liverpool are expected to make a formal approach to RB Leipzig in the coming months. Now it is reported that the gang at Old Trafford has also set their sights on Diomande.

According to the Manchester Evening News , United are going big on signing a new left winger, with Yan Diomande (playing on both the right and left) on the wish list. United have been keeping a close eye on the 19-year-old’s development this season, with RB Leipzig expected to exit this summer, with the German club demanding €100m to release the super-talent, but the local newspaper in Manchester claims the 19-year-old will be sold for an amount well below that.
Then a battle of giants between Liverpool and Manchester United is expected.
