Premier
League duo Manchester United and Liverpool are targeting Wolfsburg full-back Ricardo
Rodriguez who is reportedly eyeing a move next month, according to German
Media.
The
German newspaper Wolfsburger Nachrichten revealed that both the sides are eyeing the £22million left-back.
The
Swiss man impressed at the World Cup in the summer which caught the eye of
these clubs.
However,
both the English outfits bought a left-back in the summer, Liverpool signed Alberto
Moreno from Sevilla and the Red Devils bought Luke Shaw from Southampton.
Shaw
has been out since long and United continue to struggle with the injury
problems. Louis van Gaal could be weighing up a move for the Switzerland
international.
It
is also reported that Rodriguez was not keen to move in the summer but he is
eyeing for a Premier League move in the coming transfer window.
The
22-year-old is a regular player for the German side since his move from FC
Zürich in 2011. He is an attacking full back, he has scored 6 goals in 14 games
so far this season in all competitions.
It
remains unseen that which club will now look for his move as the player has
expressed his desire to play in the Premier League.
