Amadou Haidara has responded to speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United by admitting that he used to support the Premier League club as a child.
United's interim boss Ralf Rangnick wants to bring the 23-year-old to Old Trafford in January after signing him during his time at RB Leipzig.
ESPN reported last week that Rangnick earmarked Haidara, along with Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham and Leeds' Kalvin Phillips, as potential signings in the upcoming transfer window.
United have shown interest in the Mali international who has now broken his silence on the matter, revealing that he is a lifelong fan of the club.
