Manchester United: Jadon Sancho emerges as £80m summer target from Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund remain hopeful that Sancho himself sees the benefit to his game of staying in the Bundesliga for another season

Manchester United will press ahead with a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho this summer, with the forward now one of their main targets, although are unlikely to move for Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho.

Intermediaries have contacted the Old Trafford club about the potential of signing Coutinho, who is currently struggling at Barcelona.

United do not feel they need to prioritise his position, though, and instead want players further forward.

Sancho fits the profile, and United are prepared to make a move of over £80m this summer.

Dortmund have been greatly satisfied with the development of the English teenager this season, and would prefer to keep him until the summer of 2020.

They also feel that Sancho himself sees the benefit to his game of staying in the Bundesliga for another season, before returning to what would be huge hype at one of England’s big clubs.
