Manchester United Dealt Blow in Jadon Sancho Pursuit After Missing Out on Champions League

Manchester United's failure to qualify for next season's Champions League has left their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho in ruins.

The club were already facing an uphill battle to convince Dortmund's top brass over the move, but they had hoped that a £100m transfer fee would grease the wheels with the Black and Yellows this summer.

The Daily Mail, however, now label Manchester United's rumoured deal for Sancho as 'doubtful' at best due to their failure to qualify for the Champions League next season.

They add that Sancho had been open to the idea of returning to England this summer, but now the former Manchester City youth star looks set to stay at the Westfalenstadion for another season.
