da luck： Manchester United are prepared to pay a record fee to bring Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho back to Manchester, although they face serious competition for the winger’s signature as reported by The Mirror.
What’s the word, then?
The 18-year-old has lit up the Bundesliga this season with eight goals and 10 assists in just 17 starts for Dortmund. Sancho has emerged as one of Europe’s most dangerous young attackers, attracting the Red Devils’ interest, along with that of French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Both the Parisians and United are set to flaunt their financial wealth and go head to head to secure a record deal that would see Sancho become the most expensive English player ever, with any deal expected to totally eclipse the current £53m that Manchester City spent on Kyle Walker.
Sancho’s value would be well in excess of £100m, meaning his arrival would also set a club-record fee as well as an English one, and given the fact that he is under contract with Dortmund until 2022, it would take an astronomical offer to prise him away from the Bundesliga club.
Europe’s best right winger?
If United managed to pull off such a coup, then they would be nailing down a potential future Ballon d’Or winner as well as solving what has become a problem position for them in recent years.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been playing Romelu Lukaku on the right in recent weeks, whilst the out-of-form Alexis Sanchez has also played there with the position lacking a consistent figure.
However, in bringing Diogo Dalot to the club last summer, the 20-time Premier League champions managed to find a long-term option at right-back over the ageing Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia – the Portuguese is a player who could become one of the best in his position in a few years.
If the Red Devils manage to pair Sancho and Dalot out on the right flank, both teenagers could well make up one of Europe’s best right-hand sides for the foreseeable future.
