The reason for Manchester United's decision to end their pursuit of Jadon Sancho has reportedly been revealed.

What the papers say

The coronavirus pandemic is reportedly to blame for Manchester United's decision not to follow through on signing Jadon Sancho. The Guardian says Borussia Dortmund's £108million asking price, combined with his wage demands and the fee wanted by his agent, would cost almost £227m – a figure club bosses were not prepared to pay amid the economic uncertainty of the pandemic.

Staying with United, the Manchester Evening News reports the club could make another move for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr after having a previous bid rejected. The Red Devils had enquired about an initial season-long loan for the 22-year-old, however the Hornets are understood to be holding out for a permanent transfer.

Following reports West Ham had enquired about Watford defender Craig Dawson, The Sun says the club could make a move during the domestic transfer window but would need to pay a transfer fee of £4m to make it happen.
