United’s Yan Diomande hopes under threat after big Liverpool and PSG update Manchester United are reportedly at serious risk of missing out on RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande after a major development involving Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. United want Diomande While United are prioritising midfield reinforcements ahead of the summer transfer window, the club could also look to bolster their ranks in the attacking department. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are expected to permanently leave the club at the end of the season, leaving the club severely short of options in the left-wing position.

With United set to seal a return to the Champions League, they will almost certainly need to address this area of the pitch to ensure there’s quality depth. In addition to Diomande, the Red Devils also continue to be linked to the likes of Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Iliman Ndiaye (Everton) and Mateus Mane (Wolverhampton Wanderers). Diomande has lit up the Bundesliga this term, having joined Leipzig last summer from Spanish side CD Leganés.

Leipzig forked out around €20m to secure his services. The Ivorian has notched an impressive 12 goals and contributed an additional six assists in 29 top-flight appearances. The lightning-quick winger has notched a top speed of 36.

In doing so, Leipzig can demand whatever sum they want to sanction his sale. Now, Florian Plettenberg has issued a major update on Diomande’s future.
