Manchester United coach Chris Armas is a ‘big admirer’ of RB Leipzig star Tyler Adams, according to reports. The American recently moved to Old Trafford to work under Ralf Rangnick, who was hired as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s interim replacement earlier this month. And the duo are now looking ahead to the future.

Yet with the Gunners seeing Takehiro Tomiyasu shine since his summer arrival, United could have a free path when it comes to signing the player.
While United may bolster their squad, there are question marks over some of the players currently at the club.
Anthony Martial has endured a difficult season so far, netting just one goal from 10 appearances across all competitions.
With the Frenchman toiling, United are open to letting him go.
Sevilla, Juventus, Barcelona and Lyon have all emerged as potential suitors for the player, who has never kicked on following his sensational start to life in England under Louis van Gaal.

Jesse Lingard is expected to stay but, if United receive a suitable offer for the playmaker, may cash in.
Likewise with Paul Pogba, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
And Dean Henderson may leave on loan with the England international failing to get into the team ahead of David De Gea, who has rediscovered his best form.
Speaking earlier this month, meanwhile, Rangnick was coy when asked about the possibility of January signings.
He said: "My opinion on winter transfers is clear. It needs to be a player who improves the quality, who helps the team to get better.

"It needs to be a high-quality player, no matter which area of the pitch. On the other hand, it needs to be a player who, if they were available in the summer, they're available for similar conditions in the winter.
"Then it might make sense. It needs to be the right mentality as well as the right quality."
He also added: "We've three or four or five training sessions, but it's still too early to speak about what we might do in the transfer window.
"If I look at the number of players we have it's still a big squad, we definitely do not have not enough players but we also need to make sure that players want to stay here.
"If they're not getting enough game time, it might make sense to speak individually with those players, to see what might work."
