Manchester United held talks with Borussia Dortmund over the possible summer transfer of Jadon Sancho back in March, it has been revealed, but neither the Bundesliga club nor the player himself had any interest in a move.
Sancho had been linked with a £100m switch to Old Trafford as part of the club’s new approach to transfers and recruitment, targeting young, preferably British talent with enormous potential.
The 19-year-old England international would have fitted that profile perfectly, while also ticking the box as a marquee signing that United fans were so desperate to see.
Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc discussed the status of United’s interest with other top officials in the club’s new Amazon Prime ‘All or Nothing’ series, filmed last season.
