Borussia Dortmund: 'Jadon Sancho is not joining Manchester United'

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc insists that Jadon Sancho will not be joining Manchester United before Monday's transfer deadline.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has once again insisted that Jadon Sancho will not be leaving Signal Iduna Park before Monday's transfer deadline.

Manchester United continue to be strongly linked with the England international, having seemingly identified him as their leading target in the final third of the field.

The 20-year-old is said to be keen on a move to Old Trafford, but United are not thought to be prepared to meet BVB's asking price, which is in the region of £108m.

The Red Devils now only have until Monday evening to complete a deal for the former Manchester City youngster, but Zorc has reiterated that the attacker will not be on the move in the latter stages of the window.

"Of course we communicated with Manchester United in the past," Zorc told reporters. "But everything there is to tell on this matter from our end has already been said. And that won't change over the next three days."

Sancho, who missed Wednesday's German Super Cup through illness, will reportedly not push for a switch as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are still far away from Dortmund's valuation with time fast running out.
