Manchester United are serious option for Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane – Man United News And Transfer News

Manchester United have emerged as a realistic destination for Leroy Sane, as per reports.

Sane, who is currently at Bayern Munich, played in the Premier League from 2016 to 2020 at Manchester City.

His start under Pep Guardiola was impressive, and he even earned comparisons to United legend Ryan Giggs, owing to his ball-carrying ability.

However, the Germany international returned to the Bundesliga after steadily losing his guaranteed spot on the flanks under Guardiola.

The 28-year-old has had a positive stint in Munich, but there are question marks over his future, as he nears the final months of his contract.

According to CaughtOffside, a return to the Premier League could “very well be on the cards” for the German winger, who has attracted interest from both Arsenal and Manchester United.

It is claimed the Red Devils are “knocking at his door”. Due to his history with City, there are doubts concerning United’s chances, but the report suggests the Mancunian giants are a “very serious option” for Sane.

The North London outfit, however, appear to have the upper hand as Sane and his family “weren’t 100% settled and comfortable in Manchester.”

Sane’s priority at the moment is to remain in Munich. But his current salary, believed to be worth €20m-a-year, has allegedly proven to be an obstacle as Bayern aren’t keen on offering him the same wages again.

Should he become a free agent, the aforementioned figure may be considered viable by other clubs, owing to his skill sets and experience.

Marcus Rashford, 27, is currently the most experienced forward at United and he has struggled to get on the scoresheet regularly in the last 18 months.

Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Ruben Amorim is considering playing Rashford as a number nine in his 3-4-3 system.
