Ian Wright names two players Manchester United must sign before the transfer window closes

Ian Wright has urged Manchester United to sign Jadon Sancho and RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano. The Red Devils have been heavily linked with the move for Borussia Dortmund star, though the two sides didn't reach an agreement over the winger's transfer fee. Meanwhile, United were reported to have interest in Upamecano. The latter has opened up on his possible move away from the German club, saying: “For the moment I am with Leipzig but it is true that I was able to discuss with certain clubs. As I said, for now I am focused on Leipzig and I will continue to play for Leipzig. And then we’ll see. You never know what can happen in a football season.” While United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward doesn't want to meet Dortmund's £108m transfer fee for Sancho, Wright believes it is a signing United must get done quickly and not wait for another defeat like the 3-1 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace last Saturday. "We look at this Jadon Sancho [situation] - sign Jadon Sancho," Wright said on the Kelly & Wright Show. "Sign Jadon Sancho because what are you doing now? Are you going to wait and get another hammering and then do it in desperation? "He's worth the money for what he's done, you missed out on Erling Haaland simply because they were saying 'we're not sure' and look what he's done since." When speaking about the club's another target, Upamecano, Arsenal legend added: "Upamecano, 21, he's probably desperate to go somewhere like a Manchester United. "Why aren't they doing that deal? Especially when you watch how Harry Maguire and Lindelof played the other day. "Why aren't they doing that deal? Why aren't they going and doing that deal? Why aren't they doing the Sancho deal? They are dithering."
