Manchester United failed to sign Jadon Sancho in the summer transfer window.
Many reports claimed that the England international was the primary target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team.
But no deal could be reached and United failed to reach a deal at the end.
Dortmund was demanding more than £ 100 million for the 20-year-old, but it looks like they could now make a deal for a significantly lower fee, for 90 minutes.
The former Manchester City academy star has struggled this season and has yet to score in the Bundesliga in 11 appearances.
He has provided four assists, but form has not been anywhere near the level of last season, when he scored 17 goals.
Still, United remains interested, while Sancho expressed his openness to a move in the summer.
The report claims that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team still sees the Englishman as an ideal signing, although they believe the deal is now more achievable and for a lower fee than the £ 100 million promoted in the summer.
Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have been credited with an interest, but only United are said to be willing to make an offer.
The club would like to agree on the line early in the summer transfer window, especially given England’s participation in the European Championship delayed at the end of the season.
If England go far, chances are high that Sancho’s price will only go up and more clubs will express interest.
Harry Sherlock of GIVEMESPORT says …
This may have worked perfectly for United.
Now, it must be said here that this was not exactly a strategy by Ed Woodward and the United negotiating team.
They definitely wanted to buy it in the summer and the report claims they were willing to spend £ 120 million at some point.
Still, his hesitancy and actual inability to bring the player in may end up playing a key role in his finally arriving for a much lower fee.
It wasn’t deliberate, but United may have played a bit here.
