Manchester United wanted to sign the winger last summer but an injury and Borussia Dortmund’s stance on his transfer price, saw the Red Devils pull out of the deal. However, the Premier League are confident of signing him with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still remaining a huge admirer of the 21-year-old.
When asked about his future in Germany, the Jadon Sancho wasn’t certain. ‘I don’t know about my future. I am very happy here in Dortmund at the moment. I love the club, the fans and the team. They gave me my first professional start. The fans motivate and push me to the limit,’ he told ESPN.
Jadon Sancho had a difficult start to the season but once again has managed to reach double figures in both goals and assists (14 goals, 18 assists) for a second consecutive season. And with Borussia Dortmund again fighting for Champions League places and inability to qualify could see the winger to look for greener pastures.
