Sancho to Man United would be 'wrong decision' says pundit
Manchester United and Chelsea have been urged by Owen Hargreaves to do everything in their power to sign Jadon Sancho. The 19-year-old has been compared to Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar.
Neymar was the hottest teenager in the world when he broke through at Santos before making to move to Barcelona.
At the Nou Camp he formed a fearsome forward trio alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez as they dominated European football.
The 28-year-old has since joined PSG for a world-record £198million fee but has struggled to settle in the French capital.
Worldwide attention has turned to Sancho, who is lighting up the Bundesliga with incredible consistency.
The England international, who joined Borussia Dortmund from Manchester City three years ago, was instrumental in his side’s 2-1 win over PSG in the Champions League last night.

Sancho has been linked with a summer move to the Premier League with United and Chelsea the hot favourites to secure his signature.
And Hargreaves hopes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Frank Lampard will be given the funds to complete the nine-figure transfer.
“Sancho's performance was like that of Neymar in its early years,” Hargreaves said after Dortmund beat PSG.
“Completely detached. He could not be defended. Get your cheque books out!
