Manchester United are interested in signing Ben Brereton Diaz from Blackburn Rovers in the January transfer window, according to a report.
Brereton Diaz has established himself as one of the best strikers in the Championship, and Premier League giants Manchester United are among the clubs who are keen on securing the services of the Chile international when the transfer window opens in January.
The 23-year-old has been superb for Blackburn over the years, having initially spent the 2018-19 season on loan at Ewood Park from Nottingham Forest before making the deal permanent.
Brereton Diaz has scored nine goals and provided one assist in 20 Championship appearances for Rovers so far this season.
The young striker has also scored one goal in two substitute appearances in the League Cup this campaign.
During the 2021-22 campaign, the former Forest striker scored 22 goals and gave three assists in 34 Championship starts for Rovers.

This means that Blackburn face the prospect of losing him on a free transfer next summer, so they could be tempted to cash in on him in January.
