Manchester United reportedly remain interested in signing Leroy Sane, although they will face significant competition in the race for his signature.

The Germany international is yet to agree a contract extension with Bayern Munich and he is currently due to become a free agent next summer as a result.

Man Utd are monitoring his situation at the Allianz Arena as they consider a move for the 28-year-old, however Arsenal and Newcastle United are also keeping tabs on Sane ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window.

The Bayern Munich winger is reportedly happy in Bavaria, but Vincent Kompany’s side are eager to reduce his €20 million annual salary by at least 25%, according to German journalist Christian Falk.

An exit in 2025 is therefore on the cards, with a move to Man Utd currently deemed a “serious option” for the Germany international.

However, Arsenal are reportedly better placed to land Sane as things stand. The 28-year-old was never quite settled in Manchester during his time at Man City, while the allure of Champions League football could prove decisive in the race to sign him.

Sane has three goals in 11 appearances so far this season and although he would like to remain at Bayern, he could be forced to leave if he isn’t willing to take a pay cut.

Leroy Sane to Man Utd?

Sane is one of several players who have been linked with a move to Man Utd following the appointment of Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils are expected to bolster their squad significantly next year, but Amorim has said that he will not sign Viktor Gyokeres or Ousmane Diomande during the January transfer window.

“I won't [sign Sporting players] in January, that's what I said," Amorim recently admitted. "I don't know about the summer.

“The first point is to hold on until the summer. Sporting players are very good players, I don't know, we'll see. I know the phenomenon of football, especially in England, and I know how things change.”
