Jadon Sancho wants a return to England but favours a move to Manchester United over Liverpool – according to The Mirror. The former Manchester City player looks set to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer with a number of clubs said to be interested in signing the 19-year-old.
The winger swapped the Premier League for the Bundesliga back in 2017 in the hope he would get more opportunities to play first-team football. Fast-forward two and a half years, and having taken the German top flight by storm, Sancho is now valued at an incredible £108m (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
Are Liverpool genuinely interested in Jadon Sancho?
Yes
No
The report claims that Lucien Favre’s side would be looking to receive a transfer fee of £120m. However, figures aside, these fans can’t understand why anybody would rather join Manchester United than Liverpool given the current circumstances.
He isnt up for the challenge obviously he knows he will walk into the utd side and probably get bigger wages

What do we think?
At this moment in time, there is no reason, at least from a football standpoint, that any player would rather play for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United than Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
The Reds are on track to win the Premier League title and stand an excellent chance of retaining their UEFA Champions League crown, whereas United have struggled for consistency this season and currently sit in eighth place. We would guess the financials and the potential greater chance of a starting position in an underachieving team may be what will have swayed the Englishman if indeed the reports are true.
