Jadon Sancho wasn’t the only target that threatened to elude Manchester United here in Germany on Monday.
No sooner had Borussia Dortmund smuggled the England winger over the border into Switzerland than United made very hard work of winning their Europa League quarter-final on a sweltering night in Cologne.
It wasn’t meant to be like this. The Danes of Copenhagen were meant to be one of the easier obstacles to clear en route to securing a semi-final date with either Wolves or Sevilla back here at the RhineEnergie Stadion on Sunday.
