Here at Vital Manchester United, our latest offering on what is turning into a summer-long saga, implied that the chances of Jadon Sancho becoming a Manchester United player, this summer, were diminishing.
Our article – manchester-united-look-at-an-alternative-purchase-to-jadon-sancho – implied that the Old Trafford hierarchy were already looking elsewhere.
Today, that view is further endorsed with The Manchester Evening News, reporting that Borussia Dortmund, as well as imposing a 10-August deadline on any deal being completed, are also looking for a transfer fee of nothing less than £116 million, some £66 million more than Manchester United are willing to pay.
While the 20-year-old remains an outstanding prospect, is he really worthy of a fee of that magnitude?
My thoughts are that it would be a huge outlay for just the one player and that kind of money would be better used bringing in two new faces, but is that a view you concur with?
Please feel free to air your views on the above subject matter in our comment facility beneath this article.
