Bayern Munich beat Manchester United to the signing of Renato Sanches

Bayern Munich’s chief executive, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, has revealed how uncertainty over their new manager cost Manchester United the chance to sign Renato Sanches.

The 19-year-old joined the Bundesliga champions in a £30m move from Benfica over the summer, having initially been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford.

With Jose Mourinho yet to be installed as United boss when discussions over a move for Sanches were taking place, Bayern stole a march on their rivals to agree a deal with the Portugal international, who featured for his country as they won Euro 2016.

The deal came together on the eve of Bayern’s Champions League semi-final defeat in Spain against Atletico Madrid in April, where Rummenigge reached an agreement with his Benfica counterparts.

“We knew very well that Renato had a firm offer from Manchester United,” he said in an interview with Sport Bild.
