Man Utd face more transfer woe over Leroy Sane with Bayern not wanting to sell

MANCHESTER UNITED face more transfer woe as reports suggest that Bayern Munich do not want to sell Leroy Sane.

The former Manchester City winger has been linked with a move to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his attack.

So far United’s signings this summer have focused on midfield and defence.

And in recent weeks it appears the club’s energy has been consumed on their frustrating pursuit of Frenkie de Jong and the psychodrama of Cristiano Ronaldo.

United have also made little headway in their interest of Ajax star Antony.

But it appeared the Red Devils might have been making progress on their reported attempts to bring in superstar Leroy Sane.

But reports today suggest Bayern have no intention of letting the 26-year-old go.

German transfer expert Christian Falk tweeted earlier today: “Bayern don‘t want to sell Leroy Sane.

“Til now Bayern and the Agency of Sané have [had] no offer [from Man United].

Reports from earlier this week suggested United had made an enquiry on the German.

The winger is on the shortlist despite his successful spell at rivals Man City.

He left the Etihad in 2020 for £40m but has had to fight for football at Bayern, competing with the likes of Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman and now Sadio Mane for a place in the team.

During Man City’s outstanding Centurion season, Sane hit 10 goals and managed 15 assists.

He has not always managed to hit the same level of consistency at Bayern since his move.

Sane is one of a number of targets linked to Old Trafford as the club look to get more bodies over the line before the transfer window closes.

PSV Eindhoven’s Cody Gakpo, Wolves star Pedro Neto, Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma and Crystal Palace wide man Michael Olise are all believed to be on United’s radar.
