Overview
- Multiple reports say United have held serious negotiations with Sinayoko and his representative to secure a pre-contract in January for a summer move.
- Discussions on personal terms include a reported €3 million annual salary, which remains unconfirmed at this stage.
- Sinayoko, 26, is a Mali international currently involved at the Africa Cup of Nations, which limits immediate club availability.
- The forward has six goals and two assists in 16 appearances for Auxerre this season and can operate across the front line.
- United's pursuit reflects a need for depth with Joshua Zirkzee the only out-and-out striker, and reports also suggest they are considering a January approach.
