Manchester United FC have been linked with Dortmund starlet Jadon Sancho since the last summer transfer window. The Red Devils have reportedly prioritized a move for the English talisman and have put all other transfer activities on hold. It is now reported that one of United’s owners, Joel Glazer, is standing firm on United’s valuation and isn’t ready to pay what Dortmund are asking for.

It is reported that Solskjaer has been scouting Sancho for about a year now and has made Sancho his top target this summer. Solskjaer believed that he would have secured Sancho’s services after United had got Champions League for next season. But with about 20 days since the transfer market opened, the club still hasn’t made a marquee signing.

According to The Athletic, Joel Glazer is standing firm on his valuation of Sancho and doesn’t want to back down to Dortmund’s demands. Joel reportedly takes care of the financial part of United and is thus reluctant to sanction a move for Sancho. The Glazers are a subject to a lot of hatred amongst the Manchester United fan base because of their continuous reluctance to inject money into the club.
Lately, #GlazersOut and #WoodwordOut have been trending in Twitter and Instagram due to the board’s incompetence to sign Sancho. With about three weeks to go for the start of the Premier League, United need to sign players quickly to attain a good finish in the league table.
