Southampton boss Ronald Koeman adamant Sadio Mane will not leave in January

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman insists that Sadio Mane, who has been linked to Manchester United, will not be sold in January.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has insisted that Sadio Mane will not be sold when the transfer window reopens in January.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a £30m switch to Manchester United, who were thought to be interested in the Senegalese winger in the summer.

However, Koeman has claimed that the club will not allow any of their star players to leave St Mary's in just over a month.

"We will sell nobody," Koeman told reporters. "You can ask every week about Sadio going to United or Chelsea, but we will sell nobody in January. The player is developing himself with all the technical staff and the rest of the players.

"The team and the club is growing. We have 17 or 18 international players and they are showing the qualities needed in the Premier League so the big teams are obviously showing interest."

Mane has two-and-a-half years left on his contract at Southampton.
