Liverpool set to battle Manchester United for wantaway Jadon Sancho

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, but will have to battle Manchester United for his signature.

The Guardian report that Sancho is also a target for the Red Devils, with the Red Devils reportedly eyeing a January swoop for the England international.

Sancho had been a summer target for United, but no move was made.

However, with the winger becoming increasingly unsettled at the club, United could test Dortmund’s resolve with a January offer for the midfielder.

Dortmund boss Lucien Favre has become increasingly hostile to Sancho, fining the player for being late after the last international break and also subbing him off after 36 minutes during his side’s 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Liverpool have also been touted with a move for Sancho, but a move may have to wait until next summer.

Read Liverpool’s verdict

Sancho is obviously a huge talent, and is one of only a few players who could slot in very easily into Liverpool’s team.

It is obvious he won’t be at Dortmund for much longer, but a move to Manchester United could be seen as a step sideways unless they improve massively.

Liverpool would obviously be a better option for Sancho, but it is not yet known whether he would prefer a move to the Reds.
