Transfer talk: Man United linked with Mateus Mane, Villa in Bogarde talks | OneFootball

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Manchester United have been linked with Wolves teenager Mateus Mane after earlier talk of a reunion with Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

United are said to be leading the race for the 18-year-old if he does leave this summer. Wolves head coach Rob Edwards has already said Mane will stay in the Championship, and the player has echoed that stance.

Borussia Dortmund have reportedly tabled an offer worth 34.7 million, including add-ons, for former Wolves defender Bastien Meupiyou, now at Portuguese side Alverca. Wolves hold a low-cost buy-back clause, though they are not expected to activate it.

The sell-on agreed when he departed last summer would allow Wolves to recoup the 4.2 million they paid for him, plus 50 per cent of any profit. If Meupiyou moves, Wolves could bank a significant windfall.

Villa are said to be in contract talks with midfielder Lamare Bogarde. The 22-year-old has impressed under Unai Emery and is said to be drawing interest, including from Brighton.

With Emi Martinez linked with a departure, Villa have also been credited with interest in PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. Spurs are among the other clubs mentioned as potential suitors this summer.
