Ralf Rangnick has made those above him at Manchester United aware of who he wants his first signing as manager of the club to be, but has been told the deal cannot be sanctioned just yet.
According to Bild, the Red Devils interim boss identified Amadou Haidara as his ideal candidate to bolster what has been a struggling midfield this season with Fred and Scott McTominay the first-choice pairing in the middle of the park.
Haidara currently plies his trade for Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig and is a player Rangnick is incredibly familiar with given he was the manager that brought the Mali international to Germany in the first place.
