Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has threatened to drop Sadio Mane completely out of the squad if he attempts to force a move to Manchester United, according to reports from the Metro.

Mane is an excellent player and one that would provide United with the verve and swagger they have been crying out for this season.
“If there is any player thinking if his behaviour isn’t good, it makes it easier for the player, then I’ll put the player in the stands until the end of their contract”. After the last two defeats against West Ham and Norwich we need a win.
Wanyama was a key part of the Saints side which qualified for the Europa League last season, and has continued to impress this time round. He is a Southampton player, he likes to play for Southampton, he is not for sale.
“I’m more anxious if we don’t create chances, if we play bad football”.
The Gunners are gearing up for their FA Cup clash with Sunderland at The Emirates as they look to kick off their title defence with a win. I’ve cast an eye on Tuesday (when Palace play at Aston Villa in the league) as all the Premier League managers will do.
Connor Wickham (calf strain) and Dwight Gayle (hamstring) will not be fit until Palace’s Premier League game against Aston Villa on Tuesday.
“We’ve got 5,000 fans going down there and we have a responsibility, as do I, to make sure that we’re very strong, and I will do that”.
Saturday’s third-round tie has come too soon for both striker Pelle (knee) and goalkeeper Fraser Forster, finally on his way back after nine months recovering from knee surgery.

Palace have won three of their last four away FA Cup games, having won the same number of games in their previous 21 away games in the competition.
