And the transfer rumour appears to have caught up with the Malian, who claimed he "feels good at Leipzig."

However, he was also quick to admit he used to be a United fan as a kid, listing Cristiano Ronaldo among the Red Devils' legends he used to look up to.

"Everyone had a favourite team as a kid. Mine was Manchester United. I was a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, I liked Paul Scholes, Patrice Evra, Edwin van der Sar, Anderson," Haidara told Bild.

While speaking about Rangnick's impact on his career, Haidara reflected on how the German tactician was convinced he would hit top form in the run-up to his Leipzig switch despite tearing his cruciate ligament.

"Yes, Ralf plays a very big role in my career. Don’t forget, when Leipzig wanted to get me, I tore my cruciate ligament," Haidara added.
