    He played in Manchester City till 2020 and joined the German club after four years at the Etihad Stadium.

    He won two Premier League titles with the Citizens, an FA Cup and two League Cups. Sane secured 39 goals in 135 appearances for City and has put on a similar show for Bayern over the last few campaigns, claiming 25 goals in 91 matches. 

    Manchester United are now determined to bolster their attack by signing players like Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez. The club has made a 'surprise enquiry' for Sane despite his satisfaction with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho. 

    Moreover, Sadio Mane's arrival at Bayern Munich could increase Sane's chances of taking a transfer. Ten Hag's main summer target was Ajax winger Antony, but they couldn't afford him.

    Interestingly, the Reds are looking for new attackers in the lineup. So their eyes are on Sane. If he moves to Anfield, he'll be a regular substitute this season, a decision approved by Klopp. 

    Man Utd target Frenkie de Jong's future still uncertain?

    Frenkie de Jong is still in Barcelona, and Manchester United's bid to land the player is under serious threat from Chelsea. The Blues are ready to match the Red Devils' offer of €85million that Barcelona greenlighted.

    The player is unwilling to leave because his team still owes him £17million in deferred wages and bonuses from the surge in the Covid-19 pandemic.

    De Jong would prefer to stay in Barcelona, but the Catalans would slap a wage cut of around 50 per cent on him if he stays. 

    Man Utd is relaxed about the outcome, but Chelsea would sabotage their attempts to sign him if he walks out of Barcelona. So the Red Devils need to find ways to gain an advantage over Chelsea.

    However, Donny van de Beek could increase their chances as the player was a target for the Catalans even before he moved to Manchester United. The Red Devils might raise the midfielder in a swap deal as an add-on to the €85million they are willing to pay.

    More transfer news 

    United has additionally set its eyes on Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz as an alternative to De Jong. Everton manager Frank Lampard wants to buy Rennes striker Serhou Guirassy, which could be purchased for £ 15 million. 

    Bournemouth could sign Feyenoord centre-back Marcos Senesi while Dan-Axel Zagadou is on West Ham and Roma's radar. Red Bull Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko will stay back in the Austrian club this season, shrugging off the interest from Chelsea and Manchester United. 

    Old Trafford has added PSV Eindhoven's Cody Gakpo to their transfer list.
