If there is one player who has caught the eyes of us football fans over the last few years it has to be Borussia Dortmund and England sensation Jadon Sancho. Age is just a number and Sancho has rightly proved it, the 20-year-old has gone to score 26 goals and assist 28 goals since the beginning of the 2018/19 season.
To put things into perspective the only other player to have scored and assisted 25+ goals over the last two seasons is nonother than Lionel Messi. This explains the fact that why the European big boys are circling around to prize away one of BVB’s prized assets. Scroll down to find out why Jadon Sancho to Man Utd is certainly happening over the summer.

Jadon Sancho stats and numbers:
- During the course of the season, Sancho became the highest-scoring teenager in the history of Bundesliga.
- Sancho has 15 assists so far this season which has been better only by KDB and Muller who have 16 assists each across Europe’s top five leagues.
- Sancho has 54 goals and assists since the start of the 18/19 season which is the fifth-highest across Europe. The top four include Messi, Mbappe, Lewandoski, and Immobile.
Why is Sancho looking for a move away from Borussia Dortmund?
Sancho made it clear that when he left for Borussia Dortmund back in 2017 that he has his heart set for a return to England. Amidst an unsettled 2019/20 campaign as a team, Sancho has been singled out and scapegoated a couple of times and it is becoming increasingly certain that the young English attacker will be plying his trade elsewhere next season. Borussia Dortmund have also more or else come to terms with it and have started looking for replacements. But any club trying to sign Sancho will have to match the 100 Million evaluation set by BVB.
Which club could potentially sign Poster Boy Sancho?
There is a huge list of European elites including the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and PSG looking to make a move for Sancho.
Why Jadon Sancho to Manchester United is a transfer that is most likely to happen?
This time around Man City can do nothing to prevent Sancho from joining rivals united!
Manchester United already came close to sign Sancho back in 2017 when he was with rivals Man City, but city were determined not to sell one of their academy prospects to their rivals and Sancho wanted game time which would have been an issue.
Sadly Man City did not insert a clause into Sancho’s contract that would have denied Man Utd to sign him as they have done with the Brahim Diaz deal. All city could gain is 15% of the transfer amount from BVB.
Unlike other big clubs, playtime wouldn’t be a problem at MUFC, Sancho could walk straight into Ole Gunnar Solsjekar’s Starting 11. Moving to United also means Sancho gets his favored RW position in a 4-2-3-1 formation, similar to the formation and playing style he is used to currently at BVB. The Reds have struggled to attack down the right over the last few years. New recruit Dan James has also failed to live up to the expectation.
Moving to Manchester United also means that he’ll reunite with fellow England forward and best mate Marcus Rashford who himself has had a stunning 2019-20 campaign and the prospect of linking up with Rashford is hard to ignore.
In spite of uncertain times, due to COIVD 19 outbreak, Man Utd have the financial power and are ready to meet Borussia Dortmund’s 100 Million evaluation, which would make Sancho their record signing. Sancho currently earns 190,000/week at BVB and significantly increasing his wage wouldn’t be a big problem for united.
What will Sancho bring to Man Utd?
In Jandon Sancho, Man Utd will get a winger who possesses flair, skills, blistering pace, and most importantly a knack to score and set up goals. This also means Manchester United fans would finally get to see a proven goal scorer and a world-class winger running down the wing. Something which has been missing at United ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left Man United for Real Madrid back in 2009.
How could Man Utd line up with Sancho next season?
If United manage to keep Paul Pogba for next season, ole Gunnar Solskjaer will most likely to deploy a 4-3-3 formation with Sancho/Rashford running down the wing and Bruno Fernandes playing just off the front three.
