MANCHESTER UNITED face more transfer woe as reports suggest that Bayern Munich do not want to sell Leroy Sane.
The former Manchester City winger has been linked with a move to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his attack.

PSV Eindhoven’s Cody Gakpo, Wolves star Pedro Neto, Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma and Crystal Palace wide man Michael Olise are all believed to be on United’s radar.
