In a recent interview (mentioned by the Daily Express), Borussia Dortmund wide player Jadon Sancho has revealed that he won’t mind sealing a return to English football amid reports linking him with a move to Manchester United. When asked whether he would like to make a switch to England or Spain (via the Daily Express), the English prospect said, “I can’t tell the future but I wouldn’t mind.
“La Liga I wouldn’t mind also, but we don’t know yet.”
Sancho’s recent comments could pave the way for him to make a switch to Old Trafford if the Red Devils can convince Dortmund to part ways with their prized asset when the transfer window reopens in January.
Sancho’s Incredible Start To The New Bundesliga Season
The former Premier League rising star has started this campaign on fire after he scored three goals and grabbed four assists in five appearances for the Bundesliga giants across all competitions. Since his high-profile switch from Manchester City in the summer transfer period of 2017, the 19-year-old has gone on to feature in 60 matches for Dortmund, registering 17 goals and providing 27 assists on all fronts. Sancho has already earned six international caps for the Three Lions but is yet to open his goal-scoring account for his homeland.
What Will The English Whizkid Bring To Old Trafford?
Sancho boasts blistering pace and can make some dangerous runs behind the opposition backline. He is at his best when left isolated in a 1v1 situation with an opposition defender and can beat him using his speed and guile down the wide areas. Most importantly, the English starlet can score or create goals consistently at the highest level, which makes him such an invaluable member of Lucien Favre’s frontline.
Should The Mancunian Giants Orchestrate A Move For Sancho In January?
Sancho is also versatile enough to feature on either flank so he will add another dimension to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attack if Man United opt to bring him to Old Trafford in the coming years. The fact that the English winger is open to making a return back to the English top-flight will be a big boost for the Red Devils and their chances of landing him in the future.
There is no doubt that a player of Sancho’s potential will bolster Solskjaer’s attacking options significantly at the Theatre of Dreams. Thus, Man United should try everything they can to secure the services of Sancho during the January transfer window.
