MANCHESTER UNITED and RB Leipzig forward Brian Brobbey have been linked in the summer.
Brian Brobbey, a forward for RB Leipzig, has already made hints that he wants to join Erik ten Hag at Manchester United after making an impression while out on loan at Ajax last season. The 20-year-old thrived under Ten Hag's tutelage and is reportedly a target for the manager of the Red Devils ahead of the upcoming Premier League season, which is scheduled to begin in early August.
Given that Cristiano Ronaldo's immediate future at Old Trafford is uncertain, Ten Hag is rumored to be searching for more firepower at the top of the pitch.Brobbey is one of the players who has recently been associated with the 13-time Premier League champions. After Ajax's victory over NEC in April, Brobbey made a joking request to Ten Hag to sign him.
When asked about Ten Hag's transfer to United, Brobbey responded, "I am very glad for him and he definitely deserves it after everything he has done at Ajax. If only he would take me along in two years, but just in jest!
Although Bild reports that Brobbey would be "completely open" to the notion of joining United this summer, there may be some truth to his remarks.According to The Times, Ten Hag is reportedly said to have previously called Brobbey to discuss a prospective £13 million transfer to Old Trafford.

Initially, it was anticipated that Ajax would sign the forward permanently. He scored seven goals in 11 league games for Ajax last season. However, it now appears that United may join the Dutch powerhouses in the competition for Brobbey's services in the upcoming weeks and months.
Brobbey, a graduate of Ajax's renowned youth program, made his senior debut in 2020 while still a youngster under the tutelage of Ten Hag.He later joined Leipzig on a free transfer last summer before returning to Ajax on loan in January, where he played a crucial role in the first team squad while healthy until the end of the year.
Kenneth Perez, a former Ajax winger, recently waxed lyrical about Brobbey and claimed that he has improved immensely since leaving the Dutch team a year ago due to a contract disagreement.

Perez said on ESPN, "I'm absolutely astounded that a player who has played so little for half a year has gotten so much better. His feet were like a trampoline before, thus his assumptions have significantly improved.
He is currently moving in a way that makes it simpler for him to maintain possession of the ball. Of course, his physique is outstanding as well.
"RB Leipzig wanted to have a look at a player whose worth had improved over the last six months and see what might result. Both Ajax and Brobbey have improved; he did a terrific job.
