Chelsea and Man Utd face stumbling block to secure Sadio Mane deal

CHELSEA and Manchester United will face stiff competition in their bid to land Southampton star Sadio Mane, according to reports.

 

Sadio Mane is a wanted man

 

Mane's future at St Mary's has come into sharp focus after he was dropped for the game against Norwich as he missed a team meeting.

The 23-year-old is expected to fetch around £30million, although Ronald Koeman is reluctant to sell him this window.

United have made Mane a top target, with Louis van Gaal keen to add pace to his attack.

Reports have also suggested that Mane will demand a £125,000-a-week contract to join United.

 

Chelsea meanwhile are also keen to revamp their squad, although Shakhtar Donetsk star Alex Teixiera looks to be Stamford Bridge bound.

But according to the Daily Mirror, Bayern Munich are waiting in the wings for Mane.

Arjen Robben has had a number of injury setbacks this term, which could force Bayern's hand.

Mane is currently contracted with the Saints until 2018.
