Manchester United prepare to reverse Jadon Sancho transfer plans

Manchester United wanted to buy Jadon Sancho to solidify their attack for years to come. Now they are ready to buy an aging star to help them immediately.

Jadon Sancho has been Manchester United’s main transfer target for most of the summer. It now appears that Old Trafford officials are ready to believe that Borussia Dortmund are not ready to part ways with the English star. That forced United to reevaluate its summer transfer plans in a big way.

By The express, United now plan to turn their attention to the transfer to Real Madrid outcast Gareth Bale. The former Tottenham star has been completely excluded from the La Liga giant’s squad by coach Zinedine Zidane. Previously, the large cost associated with acquiring Bale made it impossible to arrange a transfer for him.

Real Madrid are now so desperate to get rid of the 31-year-old Welshman that he’s willing to cover more than half his current salary just to get him off his books and move on. The Spanish giants would like to receive a transfer fee of around £ 20 million to help ease their financial pain, but even that should be very flexible in today’s financial environment.

The question United must ask themselves is whether or not Bale is the player who can put them on top immediately. Otherwise, investing such a premium in a player of his age is pointless. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is building a brilliant young attack. Adding an aging, mercurial star like Bale to the mix could upset the delicate balance of his young team.

The alternative theory that Bale is returning to the Premier League could give him energy to regain the electric form that made him a global superstar in the first place. If he can capture a significant part of the form that made him a club legend for Spurs, he could give United the boost they need to challenge players like Liverpool and Manchester City for a Premier League title this season. If he can do that, it will be worth every penny to Old Trafford’s top brass.

The odds remain against Manchester United making such an important move. Your club will likely choose to keep your transfer cash safe until a later date. Dortmund will fight to stay with Sancho forever. He is likely to return to England at some point in the near future. Buying Bale now could prevent United from securing its long-term goal when the time is right. United fans should have no illusions.
