Man Utd ‘suit Sancho’s style and how he plays’ says expert
Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has been helping Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, reports say. Sancho has been in electric form for the Bundesliga giants this season, scoring 14 goals and registering 15 assists. And the Red Devils are hoping to secure his signature when the transfer window reopens at the end of the campaign.
Manchester United wanted to sign Sancho last summer but, after failing to secure a slot in the Champions League places, ultimately missed out.
However, they’re now confident of bringing the 20-year-old to Old Trafford come the summer, with Solskjaer a huge admirer.
It’s already been suggested that Marcus Rashford has been trying to persuade Sancho, who he’s friends with, to make the move to the Theatre of Dreams this summer.

United, though, are relaxed over the prospect of a little competition.
And Solskjaer is growing increasingly confident that Sancho will sign on the dotted line and become part of his squad next season.
Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth recently claimed that the Dortmund star was relaxed over his future.
“Two key points first of all with regards to Manchester United’s pursuit of Jadon Sancho,” he said.
“Do they want Jadon Sancho? Most definitely yes. Can they afford Jadon Sancho? You’d have to say yes as well.
“However, things have changed over the last six weeks with regard to the pandemic. Not only has society in general been affected but football as well and not least, finances.
“And the question you’d have to ask them is would United still pay Dortmund’s asking price, which will be between £100million and £120million
“Now the information I’ve been getting regarding Jadon Sancho himself is he’s very very relaxed about the situation. He’s in no desperate urge to leave Borussia Dortmund.
“And Dortmund’s stance in the same, they’re very relaxed about the situation.
“Earlier on in the month they did say they wouldn’t stand in Jadon Sancho’s way if he wanted to leave but only if the deal was right, not only for Dortmund but for Sancho himself.
“So as it stands there are still no favourites or frontrunners for Sancho.”
