Jadon Sancho transfer: Manchester United ‘to pursue alternative targets’ as Borussia Dortmund set £90m asking price

But United are pulling out the race for Sancho, according to reports.


ESPN FC say United will pursue alternative targets after failing to engage in constructive discussions with Dortmund over a deal for the teenager.











The German club would understandably be reluctant to sell another of their most prized assets following the departure of Christian Pulisic to Chelsea.


It would take a bid of between £80-90million before Dortmund would even consider selling Sancho.


The Red Devils are understood to be reluctant to part with such a large transfer fee on a player with just two full seasons of senior football to his name.
