"I believe there's a willingness on the player's part to come to Old Trafford and equally he is their number one target as he has been throughout this transfer window.
"I think if you look at the way the deal has been structured in negotiation terms, Dortmund have insisted that Man United deal with an agent and intermediaries.
They've sorted out how much the player will be paid, they've sorted out how much the agents would be paid.
"There's clearly a willingness from Borussia Dortmund to do a deal for Jadon Sancho but the problem at the moment is the deal they want to do and the deal Manchester United are prepared to do, there's just too much ground between those.

"Unless anything changes in terms of a major breakthrough, I think it's less likely rather than more likely.
"I'll just throw it in and I'm not sure about the ethics but I know Manchester United people feel the same about this when you're talking about £100m players and yes I know Manchester United fans want Sancho to come and the big signings but equally we are also talking about clubs going out of business.
"There is an ethical line in this and we simply don't know how much United have lost financially when it comes to COVID.
"I think all of these will be thrown into the equation when you weigh up whether United go back and offer even more than they already have for someone like Jadon Sancho."
