Erik ten Hag's secret phone call prompts transfer target to 'pack suitcases'

RB Leipzig striker Brian Brobbey has 'packed his suitcases' at the club after holding phone calls with new Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.

United are in the transfer market to bolster their attacking options after discovering that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Old Trafford after just one season, while Edinson Cavani was among a glut of exits this summer as United slimmed down their first-team squad.

Brobbey shares a close relationship with Ten Hag, who handed him his senior debut and brought him back to the Amsterdam club on a loan deal last season. The 20-year-old forward bagged seven goals in 13 outings for Ajax, before returning to parent club RB Leipzig this summer.
