Man Utd ‘chasing Sadio Mane’ in shock summer transfer but face competition from top four rivals

The ex-Liverpool winger is expected to leave Bayern Munich after just one season with the club.

Sky Sports in Germany claim they want to get rid of him after a troubled campaign.
The Senegalese international punched team-mate Leroy Sane after a Champions League tie versus Manchester City.
Mane was suspended and fined a reported £250,000.
He earns a supposed £17.4million per year, meaning many sides are likely to be priced out.
Man Utd would be able to afford him and are interested as he would be able to add versatility and experience to the attack.
Mane wanted a move to the Red Devils prior to signing for Liverpool in 2016.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are in for the 31-year-old as Eddie Howe looks to bolster his attacking options with European football on the horizon.
Chelsea were also reportedly keeping an eye on Mane‘s situation but already have a bloated squad with plenty of wingers.
