Jadon Sancho had no intention of joining Manchester United during the summer, according to Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc.
The 19-year-old burst onto the scene at Westfalenstadion last season, having arrived in Germany from Manchester City for a £9 million ($11m) fee in August 2017.
Sancho contributed 12 goals and 14 assists in 34 Bundesliga appearances in the 2018-19 campaign, helping Dortmund fight Bayern Munich for the title.
