The Malian, for quite some time has on the Eagles’ radar even before deciding on Sage replacing Oliver Glasner.
According to journalist Sebastien Denis, who works with French sports media outlet Foot Mercato, United are in the process of preparing an offer for Sangare.
There are “a dozen clubs” interested but no bids have been lodged, the report highlights.
The midfielder, Sangaré, 29, is an accomplished soccer player in Ligue 1.
He has made 29 appearances, scoring three goals and four assists.
Last season, Lens signed him, offering a handsome contract by inking a contract from Rapid Vienna for €6 million.
