Man United unwilling to pay more than £50 million for Dortmund star Jadon Sancho

Man United vice-chairman Ed Woodward earlier ruled out the possibility of splashing hefty sums on players in the summer amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Jadon Sancho transfer news: Dortmund CEO makes a prediction on Sancho future

Man United have been leading the race for Sancho but officials at Old Trafford reportedly believe Dortmund's £104m valuation of the attacker does not reflect the costly fallout of the pandemic. The Jadon Sancho transfer news made headlines this week when Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke claimed that the 20-year-old winger would have no 'coronavirus discount' if clubs are looking to prise him away from the Signal Iduna Park. Jason Sancho still has two years left on his contract and has not requested a move away from Dortmund, added Watzke. Senior officials at Man United have reportedly told Sky Sports that the Red Devils will offer less than half of Dortmund's asking price to negotiate a deal for Sancho.
