Man Utd make enquiry for former Man City star Leroy Sane after Sadio Mane's arrival Manchester United are still in the market for an attacker with Erik ten Hag keen to strengthen his squad following the Antony setback partnered with Cristiano Ronaldo's desire to leave

 Manchester United have made a surprise enquiry about former Manchester City winger Leroy Sane’s availability as boss Erik ten Hag continues to assess his attacking options.

Sane hasn’t had the smoothest of times since returning to Germany in 2020 to join Bayern Munich. And the arrival this summer of Sadio Mane from Liverpool has raised questions about how much playing time he will get this season.

The 26-year-old only started 22 Bundesliga games for Bayern last season and Mane’s transfer is likely to impact his opportunities even further. Ten Hag is understood to be happy with the idea of Marcus Rashford and Jason Sancho either side of Anthony Martial in attack going into the season

But he is still hoping to bolster his options and Sane’s situation at Bayern means he’s a player of interest. Ten Hag has been looking at a move for Ajax winger Anthony but the Dutch giants do not want to lose another big name to United having already seen Ten Hag and Lisandro Martinez make their way to the north-west.

And while they could still get a deal for Anthony over the line, other options including Sane are being considered. Sane’s Premier League experience means he would take little acclimatising back to the top flight and, of course, the fact he’s a four-time title winner — twice with City and twice with Bayern — is also appealing.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has also been linked with Sane and is a known admirer of the

player.
