Timo Werner hints at Manchester United move
Werner burst onto the scene after signing for RB Leipzig in the summer of 2016, helping the Bundesliga club qualify for the Champions League with 21 goals in 32 appearances.
The Germany international has continued his goalscoring form into this season, with six strikes in his 11 outings.
The 21-year-old was linked with big-money moves to Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool in the summer just gone.
But Werner has suggested a Manchester United would be his preferred destination, claiming a move to Old Trafford was his childhood dream.
When asked if a move to the Premier League would interest him, he told Sky Germany: "Yes, for sure.
"I would say the Italian or the French league is not my thing. I don't see me there right now.
"I would feel good to play in one of the other great leagues, not only because of the football, but the cities as well.
"In earlier days, it was Manchester United. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, they always had great players, they always won.
"As a small boy, you always prefer the teams which are winning. Then you start to dream of perhaps playing somewhere else sometime."
