Ruben Amorim’s hopes of landing RB Leipzig’s David Raum may rest on the man he replaced at Old Trafford, writes PHIL THOMAS.
A new left-back is top of Amorim’s January wish list, and the £35 million-rated German international, 26, ticks every box.
But Manchester United’s new manager could face a major stumbling block if Marco Rose gets the bullet.

The Leipzig boss is on the brink after a string of poor results.
And Erik ten Hag – the man axed as United chief in October – is the hot tip to replace him.
If the Dutchman IS appointed, he will have a big say in transfer dealings, and is unlikely to sanction the sale of a key figure – especially to the employers who axed him.
