Manchester United face a fight with Bayern Munich to land RB Leipzig star Konrad Laimer.
The 24-year-old is regarded one of the Bundesliga 's best central midfielders and is a favourite of the Red Devils interim manager Ralf Rangnick. Laimer worked under Rangnick for a season at Leipzig in 2018-19 and the pair are set to cross paths at international level, as the outgoing United boss will soon begin his tenure as the head coach of Austria.
Preparing to vacate the Old Trafford dugout for incoming manager Erik ten Hag and take up a two-year consultancy role with the club, Rangnick had recommended that the Red Devils sign Laimer during the summer transfer window to kickstart a new era, only for Bayern to now join the battle for the £23million-rated dynamo.
