Manchester United is preparing an offer to sign Mamadou Sangaré, who is a recent winner of the Coupe de France. The club has identified a need to recruit at least two midfielders, and possibly a third, and is interested in Sangaré due to his profile, evolution, and potential for progression. No firm offer has yet been made. More than ten European clubs, including several from the Premier League, are interested in the midfielder. RC Lens is aware that it will be very difficult to retain him. The expected transfer fee may rise beyond 40 million euros, which is his estimated value on Transfermarkt.

RC Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangare is on United's shortlist for the summer transfer window. The Touchline reports that United are working on a deal for Sangare. The club is said to be willing to pay up to £35m (€40m) for the Mali international.

Manchester United are considered frontrunners to sign RC Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangare. According to sources close to the player, he is excited by the prospect of joining Manchester United and sees it as the ideal step to advance his career. Manchester United's interest has recently intensified, and the club views Sangare as a cost-effective midfield reinforcement under Ruben Amorim. Lens are reluctant to sell mid-season due to their title push. His market value is rising to approximately €15m, and a substantial bid could persuade Lens to sell. Sangare’s upcoming participation in the Africa Cup of Nations with Mali could delay formal bids until mid-January, but it is expected that offers will follow swiftly.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing RC Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangare, and Chelsea are also monitoring the 23-year-old Malian international. Sangare joined Lens in August 2025 and is under contract with the club until 2030. In the current Ligue 1 season, he has contributed 1 goal and 1 assist in 15 appearances.
