Man Utd, Tottenham targets Mane and Wanyama still not for sale - Southampton boss Koeman

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has made it clear that Sadio Mane and Victor Wanyama will not be sold.

Senegalese winger Mane and Kenyan midfielder Wanyama continue to be linked with Manchester United and Tottenham respectively but after starting the pair in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Watford at Vicarage Road, Koeman insists they are not going anywhere anytime soon.

"No (I had no doubts), speculation doesn't make me change my team," Koeman said.

"It is the feeling I have and the strategy we have as a club. Again, I say nobody is for sale.

"They are Southampton players. That goes for everyone. Not just Mane and Victor, everybody."

Mane was subbed off 25 minutes into the clash with a hip injury while Wanyama played the full 90 minutes in the centre of midfield in the scrappy affair in Hertfordshire.
