Leroy Sane has stuck the boot into Manchester United and told them to forget about signing him next summer.
Bayern Munich star Sane is believed to be on the wish-list of new United manager Ruben Amorim. Amorim wants United to play in a new 3-4-3 formation, and reckons Sane would fit the bill as one of his wing-backs.
Sane will be out of contract at the end of this season and available on a free transfer. But despite being able to hold talks with other clubs in January, German international Sane insists United won’t be one of them.

And in a dig at the fallen giants, the former Manchester City wide man says he wants to play for a club that stands a realistic chance of winning major titles.
Sane, who is keen to agree a new deal with Bayern, said: “I follow Premier League football. But the attraction for me lies in a club where I can show my best performance, develop and win titles. I have that at Bayern and we will keep talking.”

United, meanwhile, have decided against making another bid to sign England and Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite in the January window.
United wanted to land the centre back last summer, but were unable to agree a fee with Everton.
Everton are still holding out for around £70m, and with United bosses not willing to meet the asking price, it looks unlikely a deal will ever be agreed.
