As per reports, Manchester United have made former Manchester City player and current Borussia Dortmund sensation Jadon Sancho their top transfer target. Though Real Madrid and PSG are also interested in the 19-year-old, who has been nothing short of a revelation at Dortmund, Manchester United is the likeliest destination.
Sancho's form has been crucial to Borussia Dortmund's title challenge this season. His contribution in the Bundesliga has taken him all the way to the England national team as well. Manchester United's right wing has been vacant for quite a while now and Jadon Sancho fits the bill as he is an aggressive, attack-minded player who will fit into Solskjaer's system with ease.
The underperforming and overpaid Alexis Sanchez is all set to be offloaded in the summer and Sancho will be a promising addition to a young squad that's brimming with talent. The report claims that United are ready to pay in excess of £100 million for the Englishman.
