The Mirror reported that United had enquired about the former Manchester City winger’s availability as coach Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his attacking options.

Sané only started 22 games for Bayern last season in the Bundesliga, leading many to believe that he had fallen out of favour at the Bavarian giants. Sadio Mané’s arrival also has football pundits questioning just how much time Sané would get.

Bayern Munich’s Sporting Director, Hasan Salihamidžić, has shot down the reports that the winger might leave for Old Trafford.

As reported by Bulinews, Salihamidžić rubbished the reports, saying there was no truth to them.

"Leroy is an important player for us, so there's nothing to say about that at all," he said.

United were also linked with 19-year-old striker Benjamin Šeško this summer transfer window, but the RB Salzburg player looks set to join RB Leipzig instead.

RB Leipzig are closing in on signing another striker. The German striker have agreed on a fee with Chelsea for Timo Werner and are now edging closer to signing Benjamin Šeško from the Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter to confirm that Leipzig were closing in on a deal to bring the 19-year-old striker to Germany in the summer of 2023.

Leipzig were hoping to bring the striker in this year, but Salzburg rejected that idea. Nevertheless, the deal is expected to be completed and announced by the end of the week.
