Manchester United’s priority signing of Jadon Sancho was reportedly close to joining United but the Red Devils have failed to even place a bid for him. With only 12 days left for the transfer market to close, United need to do things swiftly. It is now being reported by The Mirror that Ousmane Dembele, an alternative to Sancho, has made his mind up to stay put at Barcelona.
Manchester United have surprised and shocked many, including Dortmund, with their approach to the Sancho deal. The Red Devils have reportedly agreed on personal terms with the player but have failed to place a bid for him. There have been several players who were touted as Sancho’s alternatives like Ousmane Dembele, Ismaila Sarr, Douglas Costa and David Brooks.
It is now being reported that Dembele has changed his mind about a transfer and has decided to stay in Barcelona. The Frenchman has had a career hit by injuries and it was earlier reported about Barcelona’s wish to sell Dembele. But with Barca’s door shut for Dembele, United will have to make sure they get Sancho as other alternatives are nowhere near.
Manchester United have to do things quickly, as the fanbase is losing its patience with the Sancho deal and the summer transfer window closing in less than two weeks from now.
