Manchester United are in the market for a winger and it looks like Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane can't both stay at Bayern Munich after the pair came to blows on Tuesday.

Bayern replaced Nagelsmann, controversially, with ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel last month. He is at the top of Chelsea's and Tottenham's managerial shortlists, but it is understood his preference would be to join the Blues.
