Jadon Sancho: Man Utd 'only potential buyer' says expert
Manchester United target David Brooks has been made available for sale by Bournemouth, according to transfer expert Duncan Castles. Brooks is a potential alternative for United to Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. Sancho remains United's top target but the club are not willing, as of yet, to match Dortmund's £108million asking price for the England international.

"I think you could bring him into the squad and leave Mason Greenwood as the first choice on the right-side of attack and give yourself an alternative to play alongside him, rather than with Sancho where if you sign Jadon Sancho, Jadon Sancho is going to be a starter and that causes you something of an issue as to how you use Mason Greenwood next season.
"Although a squad and a long season and a lot of matches and rotation is important in the process and it's probably easier to change and rotate forwards around more than any other position in the team."
However, Castles says United are yet to make an official offer for 23-year-old Brooks.

He added: "My information is there has been no offer to Bournemouth from Manchester United for Brooks and that Brooks has been told basically to wait and see what develops in this window in terms of a move away from Bournemouth.
"As I say, available for sale and keen to move, but nothing of any substance from Manchester United at this stage."
