Manchester United transfer target Jadon Sancho given move advice by England boss Gareth Southgate

England boss Gareth Southgate insists Jadon Sancho doesn't need to leave Borussia Dortmund amid transfer speculation linking him to a move to Manchester United. Sancho is the number one target of Ole Gunner Solskjaer for the summer transfer window. The winger has scored 20 goals and created 20 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions this season. Solskjaer sees him as the perfect candidate to strengthen their attack. Southgate said: “I think the key is he [Sancho] has got to play football. The beauty of him playing at Dortmund is that he has played regularly. He's playing in a team that is expected to hit a certain level in front of 80,000 fans every week before this period. "The pressure of that Champions League football is another bonus and the need to be challenging Bayern Munich all the way. The Premier League would provide a different challenge to that. I think the depth of the league [in England] is a bit more intense in terms of the quality. From a personal point of view, for England whichever route opens up I think is positive because he will play at Dortmund. He will play at a good club. He's well looked after by the staff there. They give the right messages. “So there isn't a downside for us if he stays with Dortmund at all, and if we see him in the Premier League then that brings different opportunities in a different environment and to see how he adapts to that. But the most important thing is that he keeps playing regularly and at his age that is key to him learning and improving.” Source: Express
