Report: Bayern Munich join Manchester United in Sadio Mane race

Manchester United face competition from Bayern Munich in their pursuit of Southampton winger Sadio Mane, according to reports.

Bayern Munich have reportedly entered the race to sign highly-rated Southampton winger and Manchester United target Sadio Mane.

Speculation is rife that the Red Devils could test the waters with a £30m bid in January, though Saints boss Ronald Koeman denied that the 23-year-old would be sold.

United monitored him in the summer transfer window following a successful first season on the South Coast, but a bid was never lodged.

Manager Louis van Gaal, widely thought to be in the market for a winger, could struggle to land his man now as German giants Bayern enter the fray, according to The Mirror.

However, the Senegalese international would reportedly favour a move to Old Trafford, though a switch is unlikely to materialise next month unless a £40m offer is submitted.

Mane, who joined from Red Bull Salzburg in September 2014, has netted 17 times in all competitions for Southampton. His contract expires in 2018.
