The transfer standoff over Jadon Sancho continued on Monday with Dortmund insisting that their forward will not leave the Signal Iduna Park as their deadline for the Red Devils to negotiate a deal has passed. The tweet from Dortmund came just after Man United's Europa League clash against Copenhagen headed into extra-time as the German club took a cheeky dig at the Red Devils on social media.
Dortmund mock Man United over Jadon Sancho transfer saga
Man United have been chasing a move for Jadon Sancho for quite some time now but their pursuit for the England star took a major blow when Dortmund director Michael Zorc revealed that the 20-year-old will remain at the Signal Iduna Park for another season. According to multiple reports, Dortmund had given Man United a deadline until Monday to negotiate a deal for Sancho but the two clubs were around £20 million apart in their respective valuations. Since the deadline has now passed, Dortmund couldn't resist a cheeky dig at Man United and posted a picture of Sancho smiling and looking nothing like a player itching for a move.
