Manchester United handed Jadon Sancho boost as Dortmund 'plan for his exit by setting sights on his replacement' despite England star's £100m price tag threatening to scupper transfer to Old Trafford

Manchester United have been handed a boost in their ongoing pursuit of Jadon Sancho, after Borussia Dortmund reportedly identified his replacement.

Tough negotiators Dortmund are still yet to see United meet their £100million valuation for the 20-year-old, who they signed from Manchester City for £8m in 2017.

Yet now, with the transfer window set to open on Monday, Dortmund have already been watching over the player they feel can replace Sancho, according to the Telegraph.

Dortmund have earmarked Werder Bremen's Milot Rashica, and are said to be ready to make a move should Sancho leave the club.
