Man Utd ‘most serious contender’ for Sancho signing says expert
Jadon Sancho wants a move to London this summer, despite reports suggesting the striker is close to signing for Manchester United. That's according to European football expert Gabriel Marcotti, who believes Borussia Dortmund could look to wait and see if his value goes up next season and block a move this summer.

However, is now appears that Sancho wants to go back to London, having grown up as a Chelsea fan.
Marcotti told the BTP Media Network that while he believes Sancho has a desire to return to London, the winger will ultimately go wherever the best package is.
He said: “I’ve been told Sancho would prefer a move back home in other words to London where he grew up.
“But equally I’m sure he prefers a move for wherever gives him the best package and long term prospects.

“Obviously he has leverage and in normal conditions, a United move would have happened."
Marcotti went on to explain that he thinks there is a chance Dortmund will refuse to let him go this summer.
The Germans are no strangers to playing hardball when it comes to transfer negotiations - having managed to get £142million for Ousmane Dembele in 2017 after the star had effectively gone on strike.
United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward reportedly wants to pump the brakes on making a move this year and wait to see if they can make a deal happen next year.
