Teenage midfielder wants to stay at Bayern in 'principle' following Man United link

Teenage midfielder wants to stay at Bayern in 'principle' following Man United link

Manchester United may have their sights set on Portugal international Renato Sanches but the midfielder – although not completely ruling a move out to The Red Devils - is said to want to stay at Bayern Munich and fight for his place, reports TMW via Talk Sport.

The 19-year-old moved to the Bundesliga giants for a transfer fee thought to be around £27.m but has struggled to gain first team football under manager Carlo Ancelotti.
This has fuelled speculation that he is ready to make a move out of Germany, with Man United boss Jose Mourinho keen to bring the teenage sensation to Old Trafford.

Sanches, speaking to TMW, admitted that he was entertaining the idea but will stay at his club in ‘principle’: "Of course Bayern Munich is a great club and I really enjoy being there. In principle, I will stay there.”

"But if I do not stay at Bayern I will not be discouraged either. I will continue working as usual."

"Of course I need to play more, playing more I have more confidence. Let's see what it gives."
