Sadio Mane is a shock target for Man Utd |
The Senegalese winger moved to the south coast last summer for £10million from Red Bull Salzburg and impressed in his debut season at the club scoring 10 goals.
The 23-year-old made history when he scored the fastest hat-trick in the Premier League (2 minutes 56 seconds) in the 6-1 thrashing of Aston Villa in May.
Blessed with directness, blistering pace and quick feet, Mane is already one of the most feared wingers in the league.
And according to the Telegraph, United boss Louis Van Gaal is among those who have been impressed and registered an interest in Mane with an initial bid.
United's bid follows Chelsea's dramatic coup of Barcelona forward Pedro.
Chief executive Ed Woodward flew to the Spanish city on Monday to conclude a deal for the attacker but it now appears Pedro will be playing in London after he was convinced to join Chelsea by Cesc Fabregas.
The 28-year-old has now flown to London to complete deal worth around £22m and will become Chelsea's fourth transfer deal of the summer.
