Joe Williams

Augsburg defender Philipp Max wants to join Man Utd, while Liverpool and Chelsea look set to lose out on a target to Barcelona, all in the Euro papers.

 

BUNDESLIGA DEFENDER FANCIES MAN UTD MOVE

Jose Mourinho is reportedly on the lookout for a new left-back to improve his squad with Tottenham defender Danny Rose among a host of names linked with Manchester United.

Augsburg defender Philipp Max is the latest left-back to be linked with the Red Devils with an impressive 13 assists in 33 league appearances last season in the Bundesliga.

A source close to Max told CalcioInsider: “He is keen to move up in the career, he loves the Premier League and is ready to join Manchester United – his favourite club.

“Philipp is the best (left back in Germany) and at his peak now, Augsburg would want around €40m.”

Max, 24, has a contract at the German club until 2022 and was recently left out of Joachim Low’s Germany squad to take to the World Cup in Russia.
