The Dutchman, who coached Bayern's reserves between 2013 and 2015, did business with his former club during the summer - sealing a £60million double swoop for Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.

And according to , Man Utd's raid on the Bundesliga giants is far from over.

They claim that the Red Devils are monitoring Sane, Goretzka and Davies' situations heading into January and next summer.

Having undergone groin surgery after Euro 2024, Sane has hardly featured for Bayern this season.

The former Manchester City winger, 28, has been limited to just 32 minutes of action in Vincent Kompany's first six Bundesliga games in charge.

Despite his lack of action this season, Sane's stock remains high at Old Trafford, particularly due to his exploits with neighbours City between 2016 and 2020.

Like Sane, Goretzka has also seen his game time limited under Kompany.

The midfielder has played just one minute in the Bundesliga, with a further pair of substitute appearances in the Champions League.

But should he remain out of favour with Kompany, he could consider a move elsewhere.

Davies, meanwhile, has been a regular starter for Bayern this term.

But with his contract set to expire in the summer, the 23-year-old is in control of his future.

Man Utd would love to tempt the Canadian to Old Trafford on a free transfer.

But Real Madrid are still thought to be favourites to secure Davies' highly-coveted signature.

De Ligt and Mazraoui joined United in the summer having both worked with Ten Hag at Ajax.

The Red Devils boss has now spent over £200m reuniting with five of his ex-Ajax stars.

In addition his two summer signings, he has also forked out to bring Antony, Andre Onana and Lisandro Martinez to Old Trafford.

De Ligt and Mazraoui weren't the first players that Ten Hag has recruited from Bayern, either.

In January 2023, United signed Marcel Sabitzer on loan from the Bundesliga giants, although he went on to sign for Borussia Dortmund the following summer.
