RC Lens is preparing for a wave of departures during this summer transfer window after an incredible season. Captain Adrien Thomasson has already joined Stade Rennais on May 28, while coach Pierre Sage is likely to join Crystal Palace. It is possible that this departure to the Premier League will not be the only one this summer. According to information from Foot Mercato on Thursday, midfielder Mamadou Sangaré is of great interest to Manchester United. The Red Devils, who have officially announced the departure of Casemiro on Wednesday, have fallen under the charm of the Malian international, winner of the Marc-Vivien Foé 2026 award for the best African player playing in the French championship. In fact, Mamadou Sangaré has impressed this season. Recruited for 8 million euros last summer from Rapid Vienna, the 23-year-old player has quickly adapted to Ligue 1 and the Lens style of play, becoming an undisputed starter from the very first games. His versatility and physical density have therefore caught the eye of several European clubs. For the moment, the Old Trafford residents seem to be holding the line. A bid is currently being prepared for the midfielder, who is under contract until 2030 and valued at 40 million euros by Transfermarkt. From the Lens side, the directors are aware that his departure is now inevitable.
