Ronald Koeman discusses £100m bid with Chelsea and Manchester United

Sadio Mane has been linked with a number of top clubs

RONALD KOEMAN has admitted Southampton would not sell Sadio Mane to Manchester United or Chelsea even for £100million.

 

The Premier League giants have both been linked with the Senegal international along with Bayern Munich.

However, Koeman has stood firm, confirming the club will not sell the 23-year-old in January for any price.

 

"You can ask again about Sadio, Manchester United, Chelsea, but we will sell nobody in January," he said. 

"Already we spoke about that situation. We sell nobody in January. Nobody - not even if they pay £100m. 

 

"I think that Mane can still improve in some cleverness to know what his position is on the pitch, both inside and outside. 

"I think that still he can be more dangerous if he knows exactly the moment to have that movement in the space behind the defenders.

 

Sadio Mane has scored seven times for Saints this season

"In front of the goal he can be more of a scoring player but he is young - 23 years old - and a great player. It is a pleasure to work with him."

Mane has scored seven goals in 19 appearances in all competitions for the Saints this season.
