Southampton to turn down Man Utd, Chelsea bids for Mane

Ronald Koeman has made it clear that Southampton have no intentions of selling Sadio Mane this winter.


The Senegalese forward is a target for Manchester United and Chelsea but Saints boss Koeman insists the 23-year-old will be going nowhere anytime soon.

"Rumours aren't important: we will sell nobody," the Dutcman said.

"You can ask again about Sadio, Man United, Chelsea, but we will sell nobody in January."

Mane joined Southampton from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2014 and has since scored 16 goals and provided 11 assists in 49 appearances for the south coast club.
