RALF RANGNICK will reportedly look to sign RB Leipzig star Amadou Haidara if he becomes Manchester United’s interim manager.
Former Leipzig boss Rangnick has a good relationship with the Mali midfielder after signing him from RB Salzburg for £17milllion in 2019.
And The Mirror report one of Rangnick’s first bits of business at Old Trafford in January could be to move for Haidara again.
The 23-year-old has previously said he would love the opportunity to play for the Red Devils.
In 2019 he told German newspaper Bild: “I like Manchester United very much and watch as many games as possible. I dream of playing there. ”
Haidara was signed by Leipzig as a replacement Naby Keita, who joined Liverpool in 2018, and his box-to-box playing style could boost United’s suspect midfield.
The Malian made 31 Bundesliga appearances last season and bagged three goals.
The Mirror report says United might face competition from Newcastle in signing the star, who has a £33m release cause in his contract.
BETTING SPECIAL – GET MAN UTD AT 100/1 OR CHELSEA AT 30/1
We reported yesterday how Rangnick had arrived in England to finalise his move to the Red Devils until the end of the season.
The 63-year-old German looks set to leave his current job as head of sports and development at Lokomotiv Moscow, having only signed a three-year deal in July.
United parted ways with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last week after demoralising recent defeats to Watford, Manchester City and Liverpool.
