Jadon Sancho 'still Manchester United's number one target'

Jadon Sancho is reportedly still Manchester United's top transfer target in spite of Borussia Dortmund's £108m asking price for the England international.

Manchester United are reportedly not giving up in their pursuit of Jadon Sancho, and the Borussia Dortmund man remains their number one target in the transfer window.

The England international has been tipped to make the switch to Old Trafford for several months now, but United have supposedly been put off by Dortmund's £108m asking price for Sancho, and the German outfit are not willing to accept a lower figure.

Despite having reached an impasse over a fee, the Red Devils are reportedly still in talks with attacker's representatives as they look to pull a deal off some way or another this summer.

Transfer expert Dharmesh Sheth told Sky Sports News: "If you take what Borussia Dortmund are saying on face value - there is no deal. They set their own deadline and have said he's staying. That's the end, that's final.

"I don't think Man United feel that it is final. They are still negotiating with Sancho's representatives about personal terms and agent fees.

"Once they have done that, they will go to Dortmund with a bid and hopefully see him agitate for a move to United.

"As far as Man United are concerned, he remains the No 1 target - they do want to bring Jadon Sancho to the club - I don't think that it is completely dead."

Should Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side be forced to seek out cheaper alternatives to Sancho, the Red Devils could supposedly reignite their interest in Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic.
