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.
