Manchester United are 'desperate' to complete Jadon Sancho transfer because of Paul Pogba problem

Manchester United are "desperate" to complete the signing of Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho, as they want him to replace Paul Pogba. Sancho has been heavily linked with a move away from the club. United chief Ed Woodward has already warned against expecting transfers costing hundreds of millions this summer. But they are still interested in signing Sancho. The 20-year-old has established himself as one of Europe's most exciting talents. Liverpool and Chelsea have both been suggested as possible destinations but United are the most likely. Paul Pogba remains arguably the biggest superstar in the squad. But Jan Age Fjortoft believes signing Sancho would be a huge statement for United. "This is what you'll get from a 20-year-old," he said on ESPN FC. "Not only will he develop on the pitch but he will also develop off the pitch. "We will see a Jadon Sancho in the future - this will be one of the best players in the world. He's one of the best players in the German league. "For a club for example like Manchester United who at this stage they're a global brand without one global player. They have one global player and he's well known at the moment because he's not playing games - Paul Pogba. "They would have been desperate to get him. I think this will be the biggest transfer in the summer. All clubs will find money if they can get Jadon Sancho." Source: Express
