Koeman, who has a long-standing fued with United manager Louis van Gaal, says the rumours around Mane has unsettled him and he can see a change in his performance.

According to the Daily Mail, Old Trafford bosses are weighing up whether to take their longstanding interest in Muller to the next level, while a second bid for Mane could be in the pipelines after a first was rejected.
Mane hit 45 goals in just 87 games at Red Bull Salzburg, which is quite impressive.
Ed Woodward failed to secure the signature of Pedro from Barcelona – which Merson describes as a “debacle” – who this week chose to move to Chelsea. He made his debut in the 8-0 win against Sunderland, and scored the fastest hat trick in the last home match for Southampton where they won against Aston Villa 6-1.
Manchester United are reportedly preparing a £20 million bid for Southampton forward Sadio Mane after failing with their initial approach.
Southampton’s position is that neither player is for sale, but previous year Wanyama told of his concern of Mauricio Pochettino’s move to White Hart Lane.
“We have a lot of players – we are training with 30 players and that is not easy every single week”, Flores explained.
With only ten starts last season for Spurs, many believe that Tottenham are shopping the want-away winger around in order to simply offload him from the roster.
Southampton have already lost Nathaniel Clyne and Morgan Schneiderlin during the close-season to Liverpool and United respectively and Koeman is keen to keep his star players at St. Mary’s Stadium.

“I spoke to Sadio and I will speak to everybody we have to deal with those rumours, we made a statement and everyone knows that statement”. “I actually laughed out loud when I heard that, but if you’re a United fan, you’d be fuming”.
