Manchester United are planning to compete with Liverpool for RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner .
United, who drew a blank in defeat at Bournemouth, are ready to make a move for 23-year-old RB Leipzig hit-man in the January transfer window in an effort to beat their Anfield rivals to one of Europe's most highly-rated finishers, says the Mirror.
Werner signed a new four-year contract with Leipzig in the summer when his dream move to Bayern Munich failed to materialise.
United believe the promise of regular starts under Solskjaer will enable them to beat Jurgen Klopp to his countryman.
Werner fits the profile United now use to identify targets in terms of age and ability to develop into a world-class talent.
