Despite Manchester United being able to meet the player’s personal terms, there is so far no agreement between Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund over a transfer fee for Jadon Sancho (20).
In fact the Bundesliga club are growing increasingly confident of retaining the player for at least another season.
According to BBC Sport, Manchester United are looking at other targets to secure the signature of the additional wide an Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer requires.
Two names that have been mentioned are Gareth Bale and Croatian international Ivan Perisic. Both are 31 and are unlikely to fit exactly the profile the club has in mind.
