Manchester United leads the race for RB Leipzig’s Assan Ouedraogo, battling Real Madrid for the 19-year-old midfielder. Ouedraogo, a product of Schalke’s academy, became the club’s youngest player and goalscorer at just 17. After a €10 million move to Leipzig, he faced injuries but is regaining form this season. Despite setbacks, top clubs view him as a ‘generational’ talent. Manchester United sees a chance to bolster their midfield with his ‘power and attacking prowess’. Newcastle United and Chelsea are also interested, with Liverpool and Arsenal monitoring the situation. Real Madrid has reportedly contacted Ouedraogo’s camp, hoping he can mirror Jude Bellingham’s impact at the Bernabeu. Leipzig is set to demand between €55-65 million (£48-56 million) to part ways with their midfield jewel. Ouedraogo joins a list of targets for United as they look to refresh their squad.
