The record Premier League champions have identified Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho as their main transfer priority. But the German side are reluctant to sell the forward for any price lower than his asking fee of £108m, which has made the deal complicated as Manchester United are not willing to pay the price in full.

And with the Jadon Sancho transfer in doubt, as per The Telegraph Manchester United are looking to sign Ivan Perisic as his alternative. The Croatian played a crucial role in Bayern Munich’s Champions League run and will certainly improve Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side. The 31-year-old winger has a huge amount of experience and has played in Bundesliga and Serie A.

Ivan Perisic’s transfer fee is around €15 million which is significantly lower than the asking price of Jadon Sancho and can be used for strengthening of other areas. If United manage to land the winger, he will be their second summer signing after Ajax’s Donny Van De Beek.
