Bayern Munich chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says the German champions capitalised on Manchester United's indecision to sign 18-year-old Portugal midfielder Renato Sanches from Benfica this summer.
"We knew very well that Renato had a firm offer from Manchester United," he told Bild. "I heard that the United deal couldn’t be completed, as they didn’t know who their next manager would be. We invited Benfica’s president and Sanches’ agent to Madrid and that night we shook hands on the transfer."
