Man Utd: Sancho would be 'perfect' at club says expert
Manchester United reportedly picked out Jadon Sancho a long time ago to be their pillar for the future. The Borussia Dortmund star has been linked with a move to the Red Devils with the summer transfer window creeping closer, despite his past association with fierce rivals Manchester City. Signing him won’t be cheap, though, with the forward having a huge £120million asking price.
Manchester United are growing increasingly confident of landing Sancho this summer, 12 months after they first missed out.
A year ago, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer picked out the England international having seen him flourish in the Bundesliga.
United couldn’t get a deal over the line due to their failure to secure Champions League football and Sancho’s reluctant to push for a move.
In the end, they went with Daniel James.
But United now believe they can secure Sancho’s signature and, according to Sport1, picked him a long time ago to be their new ‘pillar for the future’.
The Red Devils look set to make him their latest big-name recruit in the hope he can spearhead a bright new era.
