Just don’t use the words wheelin’ or dealin’, alright?

Mane man: Bayern Munich are ready to swoop for Southampton forward Sadio Mané, according to Sport Bild. The German champions want to bring in reinforcements after suffering a spate of injuries last season.
The right one: With Dani Alves committed to Barcelona, Louis van Gaal has been given the option to sign PSG’s Gregory van der Wiel, the Daily Mail are reporting. Southampton’s Nathaniel Clyne is also on United’s radar.
The Special One: The Telegraph say Jose Mourinho might be interested in bringing Republic of Ireland international James McCarthy to Chelsea. Reports yesterday suggested the midfielder told Everton he wanted to leave the club.
