Manchester United remain hopeful of signing Jadon Sancho next summer after reports in Spain claimed a major factor had swung events in their favour.England attacker Jadon Sancho was United’s top summer transfer target, but they failed to get anywhere near signing the 20-year-old.

It’s understood the Bundesliga side were open to selling Sancho at the start of the summer, on their own terms.

United chief Ed Woodward though failed to match the Germans’ demands and once the deadline passed their chances of signing Sancho evaporated.

Ultimately, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s claim that United were one of the most “financially well-off” clubs did not sit well with BVB chiefs.

However, Spanish outlet Todofijaches is adamant that all is not lost for United.

They state that Sancho, while happy at Dortmund, has told the Bundesliga club he ultimately wants to play for United.

As such, that will reportedly force the Bundesliga giants back round the negotiation table with United.

And while Dortmund are unlikely to relent on their €120m asking price, they do, its claimed, now accept that Sancho will move on.

Indeed, Todofijaches are confident that a deal to take Sancho to United could be completed before the European Championships. They even suggest that, with talks due to resume early in 2021, a deal could be announced before the end of the January window.

That arrangement would see the clubs confirm the deal, but for Sancho to see out the season at the Westfalonstadion.

Norwegian pundit Jan Aage Fjortoft is also adamant both Sancho and Erling Haaland could still be lured away.

He says Dortmund status as a nearly club could ultimately lead to them opting to move on. And only winning a major trophy this season could indeed persuade them to stay.
