Manchester United wasted no time finding a new target after talks for Lewis Hall fell through.

Details: According to The Athletic, Manchester United are considering a move for RB Leipzig’s left-back David Raum. The German has emerged as an option for the Red Devils after Newcastle made it clear they have no intention of selling Lewis Hall.

The 28-year-old Raum is entering the final year of his current deal with RB Leipzig. Reports suggest his release clause has now dropped below the £34m mark, making the transfer much more feasible for the Premier League giants.

One of Raum’s biggest assets is his attacking output. Over the past three seasons with Leipzig, the defender has racked up an impressive 28 assists across all competitions.

Raum also brings valuable experience as a reinforcement on the left flank. His proven productivity in the final third and his contract situation could make the German a particularly attractive target for Manchester United if the club decides to open formal negotiations with RB Leipzig.

Reminder: Carrick furious! Manchester United blocked from top transfer.
