"Manchester United" is showing interest in forward Sadio Mane from "Bayern Munich" and the Senegal national team, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sports Germany.

According to the source, the English club is considering the option of acquiring the player in the upcoming summer transfer window. "Newcastle United," "West Ham," and "Brighton" are also interested in signing the player.

Earlier reports indicated that "Bayern Munich" is willing to sell the forward for a fee of €30-35 million. The decision to part ways with Mane was made by the German club after he struck his teammate Leroy Sane in the face.
