According to reports from Mirror Football, Southampton are set to cash-in on flying forward Saido Mane during the summer transfer window, with Manchester City and Manchester United fronting the queue for his services.
After netting ten times during his debut Premier League campaign, including a three-minute hat-trick against Aston Villa, the Senegal star was the subject of a £20million Manchester United bid last summer.

The Red Devils were linked again during the January transfer window, although the south coast outfit were always unlikely to part with a key player mid-season, whilst Manchester City were mooted as rival suitors earlier this month.
In recent weeks, Mane has found himself a surprisingly peripheral figure in Ronald Koeman’s plans following a change in formation to a 3-6-1 and unlikely to extend his contract past 2018 anyway, rumours of a summer departure have circulated for some time.
Mirror Football now claim Southampton are ready to cash in on the 23-year-old with City and United set to do battle for his services. But the club will only sell if one of the Manchester rivals meets their £30million valuation.
