Manchester United's pursuit for a Jadon Sancho transfer continues to drag along, with a move a for the Borussia Dortmund star seeming unlikely through each passing day. While the Red Devils have hit a roadblock in their hopes to add the 20-year-old to their ranks, a right-sided forward remains a top priority acquisition for the club this summer. Wales winger David Brooks has been linked with a move to Man United all summer, and the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Co have been handed a significant boost in their pursuit for the Bournemouth star.

Man United transfer news: David Brooks to Man United on the cards?

David Brooks has been the source of massive transfer speculation since Bournemouth were relegated to the Championship, with Leicester and Man United both keen on bringing the Welsh international back to the Premier League. The Cherries valued the 23-year-old at £40million and are willing to sell if an appropriate comes in for the right-winger. The Foxes signing Roma's Cengiz Under on loan has cleared the path for a David Brooks to Man United deal, with the Red Devils desperate to add options in their attack.

David Brooks missed the majority of last season due to injury but is highly rated by many at Manchester United and deal could happen before the October 5 transfer deadline.
