Timo Werner could be open to a return to English football with Manchester United.
RB Leipzig striker Werner, 27, is on United’s shortlist of potential January deals as they look to bolster their squad in the transfer window. They have also been offered Bayern Munich’s former Stoke striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting who is another strong possibility as Erik ten Hag looks for more firepower.
Former Chelsea striker Werner spent two years at Stamford Bridge and scored ten goals in the Premier League before returning to RB Leipzig. Werner was regarded as a flop because he joined Chelsea for £47m in 2020 and then his old club re-signed him for a bargain £25m.
But Werner won the Champions League with Chelsea and could relish the chance to prove himself again in English football and the opportunity to regain form and full fitness. RB Leipzig, pushing for a Champions League place in the Bundesliga, are likely to allow Werner to go out on loan as long as he moves to a club where he would start regularly.
Werner has been held back by niggling injuries this season and has scored just two league goals but has struggled to hold down a regular place. United are keen on signing a striker to improve their options and make a push for a Champions League place in the second half of the season.
United boss Erik ten Hag is desperate for more firepower but knows that the club are hamstrung financially as they are close to their spending limit for January. That means they are having to scour the loan market and are ready to let players go with Borussia Dortmund targeting Jason Sancho for a loan switch.
United striker Rasmus Hojlund has managed just one Premier League goal while Marcus Rashford has also suffered a dip in form. That has prompted United to look at the market for a loan signing with Werner among their options.
United did sign Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley last January, they did the same with Odion Ighalo in 2020 and another short term deal could bridge the gap.

Manchester united need to offload players and get good players, who are hungry for goals, Werner was a failier to Chelsea, he looks like someone still learning.. we don't need to come learn a player for now we want to run for champion league place.. ETH should not do the same mistake Thomas tuchel did to Chelsea buying Obameyang get succed for first game of using a playe.. if ETH will get Thomas müller or choup mounting, or even Werner.. 100% he will be succed and Manchester united will never play any European cup..
You know football very well my guy .....you the only person with better views whom I saw in comment section
