Leroy Sané was allowed to get involved in the Bundesliga opener against Eintracht Frankfurt for around half an hour on Friday evening. After all, the 26-year-old entered the game statistics with an assist, but the protagonists of Bayern Munich’s clear 6-1 win were others.
A game that beautifully reflects Sané’s current situation. The gifted person is able to shine at any time, but it is difficult. The competition at the record champions is just too big for a regular seat ticket. At a club like Manchester United it would probably look a little different.
As the English tabloid ‘The Mirror’ now reports, the Red Devils have asked Bayern about the possibility of a Sané transfer. What the people of Munich replied to the request remains open.
Ten Hags Plan B
According to the English media, coach Erik ten Hag originally wanted to welcome his former protégé Antony to Old Trafford. But according to ‘The Mirror’, Ajax Amsterdam don’t want to lose another formative player to the 20-time English champions after coach and centre-back Lisandro Martínez.
Apparently Sané is the plan B, most recently too traded at Real Madrid, brought into focus. However, the return to Manchester would have an aftertaste, after all, the Essen native played for city rivals City for four years.
