Manchester United are battling PSG and Liverpool for RB Leipzig's explosive 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande as the club searches for further left-wing options this summer.
Who would be your ideal winger signing this summer?
Manchester United are in the market for a fresh winger, as they search for different options to vary the attack's setup.
The signings of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mebumo have been crucial for this season's trajectory, as the Reds look certain to qualify for the Champions League after last Saturday's win against Chelsea.
Cunha and Mbeumo offer different styles of play to Patrick Dorgu, for example, who has recently been transformed into a winger, with Mbeumo operating centrally for a large part of the season, and Cunha being played in a free roam role.
The idea of an adaptable attack is clearly shaping the philosophy of the club, especially under Michael Carrick. This has led the recruitment team to chase one of Europe's top young talents to add to the attacking roster.
United Chase Diomande
Yan Diomande has emerged as one of football's next generational talents. At 19, the Ivorian has been nothing short of impressive so far this season.
Since joining RB Leipzig from Leganes in 2025, Diomande has scored 12 goals and recorded six assists, and has been crucial for Leipzig's redemption season after an underwhelming previous campaign.
An attractive trait of Diomande's that is appealing to Europe's top teams is the winger's explosiveness and immaculate ball control. The Ivorian currently has the most expected dribbles per 90 in the Bundesliga, with a staggering average of 4.3.
The People's Person have covered reports claiming that United aren't the only club looking to secure Diomande's signature, as PSG and Liverpool are also interested.
According to Sky Sport's Bundesliga reporter, Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool have made Doimande their 'top target', and PSG have 'already held meetings with his agents', which puts Christopher Vivell and the recruitment team on the back foot for now.
If Liverpool are serious about their interest, they would have a major advantage over United and PSG for his signature, as Diomande has previously admitted that playing for Liverpool at Anfield is his father's dream for him.
What are the alternative options for United?
It's no secret that teams like PSG and Liverpool have a certain 'pull' in the transfer market, as both clubs have secured the signings of some of the world's best players, like Alexander Isak for Liverpool and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia recently.
Despite United's reputation and influence in the market, there is a chance Diomande opts for another club, especially with the heavy influx of attackers the club has recently acquired.
If United were unsuccessful, there are plenty of other options available this summer transfer window, like Anthony Gordon, who is reportedly pushing for a move away from Newcastle this summer due to the club's poor form.
Karim Adeyemi is another player who is rumoured to be departing Borussia Dortmund this summer, and United could secure the signing for around £55 million.
Shea Lacey is an unconventional option; without the desired senior football experience, Lacey may not be top of the list, but having come through the academy with huge expectations, it may be time for the 19-year-old to push for a first-team spot.
