Southampton have dropped Sadio Mane for the game against Norwich after the forward was late for a team meeting.
Mane, 23, has been linked with a January move to Manchester United and sources have told ESPN FC that the Senegal international will be one of the Old Trafford outfit's top targets.
The forward has caught the eye at Southampton since arriving in the summer of 2014 from Red Bull Salzburg and he has quickly established himself as one of the best forwards in the Premier League.
However, he fell foul of the club's disciplinary policy before the game with Norwich as coach Ronald Koeman explained: "It was a disciplinary reason. He was in the team, but he was too late in the meeting"
