With the summer transfer window now finally closed, Jadon Sancho is still a Borussia Dortmund player despite the intense rumours linking the winger with a move to Manchester United. The 20-year-old attacker was Man United's principal transfer target in the summer window but Dortmund and United failed to come to an agreement over the transfer fee for the player. Although it is believed that the Red Devils are still keen on bringing Sancho to Man United in one of the next few transfer windows, Sancho has seemingly been left feeling 'undervalued' by United's previous bids and could 'ditch' the Premier League giants next summer.

According to reports from The Athletic, Jadon Sancho has been left feeling 'undervalued' by Manchester United following their failure to meet Dortmund's £108m (€120m) asking price for the player.

The Red Devils instead opted to sign Edinson Cavani on a free transfer and snapped up Uruguayan sensation Facundo Pellistri as an alternative. Man United chief executive Ed Woodward has come under heavy scrutiny for his inability to negotiate Sancho's move to Old Trafford this summer. Although it is believed that Woodward and Man United are still not giving up on Sancho and will return with another bid in January or next summer, reports claim that the Red Devils' opportunity to sign the winger has now passed once and for all.
Man United transfer news: Jadon Sancho to ditch Man United next summer?
Reports have claimed that Jadon Sancho has been left feeling ‘undervalued’ by United’s refusal to pay anywhere close to his asking fee. Sancho had a stellar campaign with Dortmund last season, scoring 20 goals and notching up 20 assists as well along the way, helping the Black and Yellows finish in second place on the Bundesliga table. It's likely that Sancho will have several clubs lining up for his signature in January as well as next summer but the winger will reportedly snub Man United if another offer arrives.
United had reportedly agreed on personal terms with Sancho but failed to pay Dortmund's asking price. Reports have claimed that Sancho might now be keen on joining either one of United's rivals, Man City or Liverpool instead.
