Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is in the market for attacking additions as he looks to steer the club towards more success next season.

Bayern Munich forward Sadio Mane has emerged as an attractive option for Manchester United this summer.

The former Liverpool forward moved to Germany last summer for £35m and has failed to live up to expectations, with just 12 goals to his name this season. 

The 31-year-old has also had problems settling in and blending in with his new teammates as was evident when he physically assaulted Leroy Sane last month. 

Pulse Sports reported last week that Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel is willing to cash in on the Senegalese as the Bavarians look to splurge on a proven goalscorer.

Manchester United to move for Mane

Now, Sky Sport Germany claim that Ten Hag’s men are keeping tabs on the situation and will be ready to make a move should the price and conditions be right.

Mane was linked to Manchester United before moving to Liverpool and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are willing to push the boundaries by bringing him back to England, particularly considering his Liverpool history.
