Manchester United To Launch Bid For Sadio Mane

Manchester United are about to launch a shock bid for Sadio Mane after missing out on Barcelona winger Pedro to Chelsea.

Manchester United are feeling miffed that they have missed out on Pedro to big rivals Chelsea in the bidding for Pedro and seem keen to flex their muscles and show the other big boys in the playground that they are still top dog, therefore they are nor rumoured to be going for Saints Sadio Mane.

Although im sure that Saints will reject the offer out of hand, how much of an unsettling effect it will have n the player himself is uncertain and the fact that the press are putting this about suggests that they are being briefed from someone close to Old Trafford.

If United are to tempt Saints for Mane then they will need to be doubling the £10 million spend to bring him from Red Bull Salzburg and then some.
