Louis Van Gaal has turned his attentions to Sadio Mane, after Pedro Rodriguez snubbed Manchester United and is set to join Premier League rivals, Chelsea.
The Senegal international moved to St Marys only last summer for £10million and the Saints will be hesitant to sell, as they have already lost key players like Morgan Schneiderlin, Toby Alderweireld and Nathaniel Clyne this summer.
According to the Daily Telegraph, United have had a bid around £17m turned down and may return with a bigger offer, that Southampton will find hard to refuse.
Van Gaal is desperate to bolster his forward line, despite starting the league campaign with two goals. Wayne Rooney looks to be struggling as the lone striker and does not have real competition upfront.
