Man Utd not meeting Sancho asking price is 'bizarre' says Cross
Manchester United could yet to sign Jadon Sancho in this summer’s transfer window. Interest in the Borussia Dortmund star remains, though the club won’t do business for anything exceeding £100million. So Express Sport will now take a look at four players they could include in a swap deal.

United have seen Anthony Martial misfire this season.
Though he’s currently injured, the France international had scored just seven goals before being sidelined in March.
And there’s a sense Martial may never fulfil his potential at Old Trafford, despite the obvious talent he possesses.
Dortmund will need a top attacking player to fill the void left behind by any possible Sancho departure.
They wanted Martial when it looked as though he could leave during Jose Mourinho’s reign and, therefore, including him in a swap deal would certainly be logistical.

Amad
United aren’t going to sell Amad anytime soon.
Signed from Atalanta during the January transfer window, the talented teenager has been in fine form at youth level - and scored a terrific header against AC Milan in the Europa League.
Should United sign Sancho, it would damage the 18-year-old’s hopes of regular action.
Therefore, loaning him to Dortmund for a year would suit both parties.
Amad could get the action he needs, while United would get an upgrade on Sancho.
The Ivorian would then be able to return to Old Trafford significantly improved and ready to challenge for a starting berth.

Dortmund update
Speaking recently, Dortmund chief Michael Zorc addressed talk of Sancho leaving.
And he confirmed they had a gentleman’s agreement with the 21-year-old, who has scored 12 goals and registered 12 assists across all competitions this term.
However, the same doesn’t apply to his team-mate Erling Haaland.
“We already had a gentlemen’s agreement with Jadon last year that he can switch under certain conditions,” Zorc told ARD.
“He’s been with us for a couple of years. However, this agreement does not exist with Erling.”
