Man United transfer news live: Jadon Sancho to Man United in doubt?
According to reports from ESPN, Man United are unwilling to match Borussia Dortmund's £108 million (€120 million) asking price for a Jadon Sancho transfer and will look at alternatives if they can't reach a realistic agreement. The Sancho to United transfer rumours have amplified over the past few weeks with the Premier League side reportedly putting in an £89m (€98m) bid for the star forward that was immediately rejected by the Bundesliga outfit. It is understood that Dortmund want £108m (€120m) to part with Sancho but United are not prepared to go near that fee due to the financial ramifications of the coronavirus pandemic.
👌🏻 that’s the situation for #Sancho.

Talks on. Personal terms are ok. It’s up to the two clubs and needs time.
Still not agreed about installments and add ons to arrive at final fee. But talks are on ‘day by day’ and no deadline. 🔴 https://t.co/F0wtB53azT

Man United have been linked with a move for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman if a transfer tor Jadon Sancho falls through. The Bayern Munich star has been impressive for the German champions and the 24-year-old has won an incredible eight league titles in his career so far. However, Bayern are reluctant to part with the French winger since manager Hansi Flick wants depth on the wings in his squad. Bayer Leverkusen's Leon Bailey is another option for Man United as Solskjaer's team can offer the 22-year-old Champions League football next season.
